Abstract
The ability of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) to enhance beta cell responsiveness to i.v. glucose is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with healthy individuals. We investigated whether 4 weeks of near normalisation of blood glucose (BG) improves the potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion by GLP-1.
