Summary
This trial aims to study the effects of a protein called C-peptide on glucagon secretion during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in dogs. The findings from this study could help in understanding how C
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with type 1 diabetes who have a body mass index (BMI) under 30. It's not open to pregnant or breastfeeding women, smokers, or those with HIV, hepatitis, cardiovascular disease, or microvascular complications.
What is being tested?
The study investigates whether C-peptide can help prevent severe low blood sugar in people with type 1 diabetes by increasing glucagon secretion and liver glucose production. Participants will receive either C-peptide or saline as a comparison.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include reactions at the injection site and possible unknown risks associated with administering C-peptide.
