Further study details as provided by Merck:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • proper implementation and tolerability of a grade glucose infusion using D20 intravenous infusion measured by glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels [ Time Frame: 0-160 minutes after start of infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • beta-cell glucose sensitivity (slope of the relationship between insulin secretion rate and glucose) [ Time Frame: 0-160 minutes after start of infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Enrollment: 12
Study Start Date: August 2007
Study Completion Date: September 2007
Primary Completion Date: August 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Period 1 + Period 2
graded infusion of intravenous glucose
 Procedure: Comparator: graded infusion of intravenous glucose
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.
