Measure
Carvedilol 3.125 mg
After enrollment, participants will be placed on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). One week after CGM placement, participants will undergo the first hypoglycemic clamp study to obtain baseline measures of hypoglycemia frequency, hypoglycemia awareness scores and hormone responses. Following the initial clamp procedure, participants will receive 4 weeks of low-dose carvedilol treatment. After 4 weeks of treatment, the participants will undergo a second hypoglycemic clamp session. Carvedilol 3.125 mg: Participants will receive a 3.125 mg oral dose of carvedilol twice daily during the 4-week treatment period
Carvedilol 2.5 mg
After enrollment, participants will be placed on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). One week after CGM placement, participants will undergo the first hypoglycemic clamp study to obtain baseline measures of hypoglycemia frequency, hypoglycemia awareness scores and hormone responses. Following the initial clamp procedure, participants will receive 4 weeks of low-dose carvedilol treatment. After 4 weeks of treatment, the participants will undergo a second hypoglycemic clamp session. Carvedilol 2.5 mg: Participants will receive a 2.5 mg oral dose of carvedilol twice daily during the 4-week treatment period
Placebo Capsule
After enrollment, participants will be placed on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). One week after CGM placement, participants will undergo the first hypoglycemic clamp study to obtain baseline measures of hypoglycemia frequency, hypoglycemia awareness scores and hormone responses. Following the initial clamp procedure, participants will receive 4 weeks of placebo treatment. After 4 weeks of treatment, the participants will undergo a second hypoglycemic clamp session. Placebo capsule: Participants will receive a matching oral dose of placebo capsule twice daily during the 4-week treatment period
