NCT00683735

Brief Summary

Objective: To assess the effect if co-administration of sitagliptin and metformin compared to placebo on the incretin effect (based on the comparison of the insulin secretory response to oral glucose load and an 'isoglycaemic' intravenous glucose load). Hypothesis: Treatment with co-administration of sitagliptin and metformin provides a greater incretin effect compared to placebo.
