NCT01283126

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of hypoglycemia on cognition in healthy individuals and how well changes in (interstitial) tissue glucose levels correlate with changes in cognitive function as compared to blood glucose levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • cognitive function correlation to blood or interstitial glucose

    This investigator initiated study will evaluate cognitive function at the onset, during and following recovery from hypoglycemia and will determine if cognitive function correlates better with blood or interstitial glucose concentrations.

    1 year

Study Arms (1)

Euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will complete clamp study visit.

Procedure: euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp

Interventions

Subjects will undergo standard euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamps, and will have concurrent assessments of cognitive function and measurement of interstitial glucose concentrations.

Also known as: clamp
Euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp
