Trial summary

Patients with T2DM lac a sufficient incretin response after oral glucose intake. It has only been tested using 50g of glucose. We don't know if patients with T2DM are capable of regulating the incretin effect like healthy people in responds to different amounts of glucose intake. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Quantification of the Incretin Effect in Healthy Subjects and Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Using Increasing Amounts of Oral Glucose Challenges

Patients with T2DM lac a sufficient incretin response after oral glucose intake. It has only been tested using 50g of glucose. We don't know if patients with T2DM are capable of regulating the incretin effect like healthy people in responds to different amounts of glucose intake.

The aim of the present study is to quantify the incretin effect in healthy subjects and in patients with T2DM during increasing amounts of oral glucose challenges. The proposed studies will answer important questions on the mechanisms underlying T2DM and be of importance in relation to future preventive- and treatment strategies.

Read the detailed description

The impaired incretin effect in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has previously only been evaluated using a glucose load of 50 g, and it is uncertain whether patients with T2DM are capable of regulating their incretin effect equivalent to healthy subjects. Furthermore, it is of great interest to quantify the secretion of GIP and GLP-1 during increasing glucose loads in both patients with T2DM and in healthy subjects in order to evaluate whether an increased secretion of one or both of the two incretin hormones contributes to the regulation of the incretin effect.

The aim of the present study is to quantify the incretin effect in healthy subjects and in patients with T2DM during increasing amounts of oral glucose challenges and corresponding isoglycemic iv glucose challenges. The proposed studies will answer important questions on the pathophysiology underlying T2DM and be of importance in relation to future preventive- and treatment strategies.

Eight patients with T2DM and 8 matched healthy subjects will be evaluated with oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) using increasing glucose loads (25, 50 and 100 g glucose) and isoglycemic iv glucose tolerance tests imitating the glucose concentrations as obtained during the oral glucose loads. The results will describe the regulation of the incretin effect in patients with T2DM and, thereby, contribute to the clarification of the pathophysiology of the postprandial hyperglycemia characterizing these patients.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progress in Incretin effect in patients with T2DM compared with healthy subjects (time frame: 4 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
