Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
proper implementation and tolerability of a grade glucose infusion using D20 intravenous infusion measured by glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels
0-160 minutes after start of infusion
Secondary Outcomes (1)
beta-cell glucose sensitivity (slope of the relationship between insulin secretion rate and glucose)
0-160 minutes after start of infusion
Study Arms (1)
Period 1 + Period 2
EXPERIMENTALgraded infusion of intravenous glucose
Interventions
A stepwise graded infusion of glucose (20% dextrose \[D20\]) with a stable rate of infusion maintained for 40 minutes for each of 5 steps, with steps at 2,4,6,8 and 12mg/kg/min. Procedure will be identical in Period 1 and Period 2.
