Drug Trial of Lixisenatide on Gastric Emptying and Blood Pressure Drops in Type 2 Diabetics and Healthy People

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the drug lixisenatide on blood sugar levels, stomach emptying, blood pressure and heart rate, release of gut hormones and blood flow in the gut after a glucose drink in both healthy subjects and people with type 2 diabetes. If lixisenatide is shown to be effective, it would encourage ongoing evaluation of its potential use in the management of the falls in blood pressure following a meal in diabetic patients.
