Brief Summary

An intestinal hormone called Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) is released into the blood immediately after ingestion of a meal and plays an important role in regulating blood sugar l...

Detailed Description

Each eligible participant will be administered an oral glucose tolerance test so he/she can be assigned to the group with "normal glucose tolerance", "impaired glucose tolerance" (between normal and d...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Individuals must be able to consent for their own participation (no mental impairment affecting cognition or willingness to follow study instructions).
  • Healthy volunteers with no clinical evidence of T2DM.
  • Otherwise healthy volunteers that have impaired glucose tolerance.
  • Otherwise healthy volunteers with diet controlled T2DM.
  • Otherwise healthy volunteers with T2DM that take oral agents only if the subject's pre-existing oral anti-diabetic agents can be safely discontinued for 48-hours.
  • Persons with HbA1c less than 9%.
  • Women of childbearing potential must be currently taking/using an acceptable method of birth control. A pregnancy test will be done at the beginning of each visit. Any woman with a positive pregnancy test will be removed from the study.
  • Willingness to complete all required visits.

Exclusion

  • Type 2 diabetes requiring the use of supplemental insulin at home.
  • Volunteers with a history of Acute Pancreatitis.
  • Volunteers with a history of cancer (except for skin cancer).
  • Volunteer with a history of Chronic Pancreatitis and/or risk factors for chronic pancreatitis including hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides \>400mg/ml) hypercalcemia (blood calcium level \>11.md/dl) and/or the presence of gallstones.
  • Volunteers with a history of gastrointestinal disorders, particularly related to gastric motility/emptying such as gastric bypass, documented gastro-paresis in diabetic volunteers.
  • Subjects taking medications known to affect glucose tolerance.
  • Hematocrit from the lab is below 33% (or if the finger stick hemoglobin measured with the HemoCue 201+ is \<11.2% mg/dlL).
  • Diabetics that have the potential to have a low blood sugar without them being aware that their blood sugar is low (hypoglycemia unawareness).
  • Significant systemic illness including heart, kidney, inflammatory, liver, or malignant disease requiring medications.
  • Subjects will be excluded if their liver or kidney function is outside the upper limits of normal by \> 3%. Total Bilirubin levels should be \<2.
  • Subjects unwilling to allow the use of human albumin in the preparation of the peptides.
  • Unwillingness to allow blood glucose level adjustment (if needed) with IV insulin
