Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the changes in amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes exposed to acute hyperglycemia. Moreover we wish to assess the effect of acute hyperglycemia on cardiac output.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in modern Western societies. Obesity, diabetes and the metabolic syndrome are the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. People with type 2 diabetes and no history of heart disease have a risk of myocardial infarction similar to the risk in non-diabetic patients with known heart disease.

However, the causal relationship between obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease is unclear. Insulin resistance leads to many metabolic abnormalities, including high circulating levels of free fatty acids (FFA). FFA induces insulin resistance and may lead to beta cell failure. In addition FFA may directly worsen the metabolic and electrochemical performance of the working heart. Moreover it is still unclear how acute hyperglycemia affects cardiac output.

In this study our purpose is to characterize the changes in amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes exposed to acute hyperglycemia (blood glucose between 18 and 20 mmol/L) compared to the amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism at a normal glucose level (blood glucose between 5 and 7 mmol/L). The results from the patients with type 2 diabetes will be compared with results from healthy controls examined in a fasting basal state. The patients must not suffer from any kind of serious heart disease and should be treated with insulin.

Moreover we wish to compare cardiac output at high and normal blood glucose levels, respectively. Cardiac output will primarily be assessed by doppler echocardiography.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Euglycemic

The patients will be examined with a blood glucose at around 5-7 mmol/L.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Actrapid (human insulin)

Intervention Type DRUG

On day one the patients will receive glucose and insulin in order to reach a blood sugar around 18 and 20 mmol/L and on day two the patients will receive glucose and insulin in order to have a blood sugar around 5 and 7 mmol/L. On both days amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism will be assessed by means of whole body isotope dilution.

Hyperglycemic

The patients will be examined with a blood glucose at around 18-20 mmol/L

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Actrapid (human insulin)

Intervention Type DRUG

On day one the patients will receive glucose and insulin in order to reach a blood sugar around 18 and 20 mmol/L and on day two the patients will receive glucose and insulin in order to have a blood sugar around 5 and 7 mmol/L. On both days amino acid, lipid and glucose metabolism will be assessed by means of whole body isotope dilution.
