The Effect of Pramlintide on Meal Time Insulin Bolus

Summary

The primary objective is to establish the mean percentage of change in the insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio due to pramlintide treatment once a maximum tolerated dose or 6 mcg before each meal is reached. The secondary objective is to establish which insulin bolus wave form is associated with the lowest post-bolus without hypoglycemia in subjects treated with maximum pramlintide dosage.
