Glucagon test after dieting in type 2 diabetes
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests how glucagon affects sugar and fat handling in the liver after a short period of calorie restriction. It may help researchers understand metabolic changes in people with type 2 diabetes and guide future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes and your weight has been stable recently
- Your body mass index (BMI) is 28 or higher
- Your diabetes is controlled with diet alone or diet plus pills (not insulin)
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants and you can tolerate the scanner)
- You do not have certain prior upper belly surgeries (like gastric banding or similar)

This study tests whether reducing liver fat can improve health in people with type 2 diabetes. It looks at the effects of a specific medication combined with exercise, tailored for those who are not very active.
This study looks at how glucagon affects insulin release and blood sugar in people who do not have type 2 diabetes. It may help us understand normal glucose control better.
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.
This study tests whether very low-carbohydrate diets change glucagon response in adults with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand how diet affects blood-sugar control in people using insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors.
This study tests whether carbohydrate or calorie restriction can help normalize blood sugar levels in people with relatively early type 2 diabetes. It may help those whose diabetes control is not yet fully under control but who do not have major recent heart problems.
This study looks at how the liver handles insulin and glucagon, two hormones that control blood sugar. It is for healthy adults to help researchers understand normal liver function.
