Summary

This trial will test whether GLP-1 can help protect against the harmful effects of hypoglycemia in people with T1DM.

They must not be pregnant, have significant heart issues, severe liver or kidney problems, anemia, or be on certain medications like beta blockers or anticoagulants.
What is being tested?
The study tests if Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) can protect blood vessel function and reduce the risk of blood clots after low blood sugar events in people with Type 1 Diabetes. Some participants will receive GLP-1 while others will get a placebo to compare effects.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of GLP-1 may include digestive issues such as nausea and vomiting, potential allergic reactions, headache, dizziness and might affect blood sugar levels which need careful monitoring.
