Hoashi S , Cannon D , Kilbane M , Wade B , Kinsley B

The factors affecting counterregulatory (CR) responses to hypoglycaemia in T2DM remain uncertain. Previous studies have suggested an effect of glycaemic control on CR responses in T2DM. Little data exists on the effect of treatment with metformin (MET) vs. Sulphonylurea (SUL) on the CR responses to hypoglycaemia in T2DM.To date, we have performed stepped hypoglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp studies (2-4 mU/kg/min) on 5 subjects treated with MET (Age 50....
