Summary

The GLP-1 receptor (GLP1R) gene is found on the beta cells of the pancreas. Its role is in the control of blood sugar level by enhancing insulin secretion from the pancreas after eating a meal. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the role of GLP1R in the response to elevated glucagon concentrations.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 20 weight-stable, non-diabetic subjects

  • HbA1c ≥5.9%
  • Use of glucose-lowering agents.
  • For female subjects: positive pregnancy test at the time of enrollment or study
  • History of prior upper abdominal surgery such as adjustable gastric banding, pyloroplasty and vagotomy.
  • Active systemic illness or malignancy.
  • Symptomatic macrovascular or microvascular disease.
