Pathogenesis of the Impaired Incretin Effect in Type 2 Diabetes
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating insulin glargine for Diabetes and Hyperglycemia. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this project is to understand defects in insulin secretion that contribute to abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with diabetes. In particular the effects of signals released from the intestine to stimulate insulin secretion will be tested. Patients with type 2 diabetes will have insulin secretion in response to glucose and intestinal factors before and after insulin treatment to lower their blood glucose. It is expected that the results of this work will provide valuable information for treating diabetic people.

Timeline
Interventions
Diabetic subjects will be treated with insulin glargine once daily for 2 months. Subjects will monitor their blood glucose and have their insulin dose adjusted in steps of 4-6 units to achieve a goal of less than or equal to 120 mg/dl for fasting blood glucose.
