Primary outcomePrimary: Insulin Secretion — 5; 29 % increase of Ins30
Summary
The investigators have recently discovered a genetic variant in an adrenergic receptor that leads to increased risk for type 2 diabetes. The investigators have also seen that blockers of that receptor improves impaired insulin secretion in animals. The investigators will now test the blocker in patients with type 2 diabetes with or without the risk variant in an effort to make diabetes treatment more individualized.
