Hypoglycemia Associated Autonomic Failure in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

NCT00608101

RandomizedFactorialSingle-blind

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine what corticosteroid receptor (and the dose of) is responsible for cortisol inducing hypoglycemia associated autonomic dysfunction in Type 1 DM. Specifically, we aim to determine whether stimulating the type 1 corticosteroid receptor (via fludrocortisone), the type 2 corticosteroid receptor (via dexamethasone), or both causes hypoglycemia associated autonomic dysfunction in Type 1 DM.
