Brief Summary

The aim of this research project is to determine the effect of intermittent hypoxia on glucose uptake in response to an oral glucose tolerance test in healthy individuals, individuals with prediabetes and patients with type 2 diabetes.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in plasma glucose levels

    Plasma glucose levels obtained from a venous catheter during a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test

    Collected at minutes 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 of the oral glucose tolerance test

Study Arms (2)

Intermittent hypoxia

EXPERIMENTAL

The intermittent hypoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute hypoxic cycles (arterial oxygen saturation of 80%) interspersed with normoxic cycles (room air) to resaturation.

Behavioral: Intermittent hypoxia

Intermittent normoxia

SHAM COMPARATOR

The intermittent normoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute normoxic cycles (compressed air) interspersed with 1-minute normoxic cycles (room air).

Behavioral: Intermittent normoxia

Interventions

The intermittent hypoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute hypoxic cycles (arterial oxygen saturation of 80%) interspersed with normoxic cycles (room air) to resaturation.
