Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the response to Glucagon versus the spontaneous hormonal response to low blood sugar levels in T2DM Patients treated with AZD1656 and Metformin

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomised, Open, Two-Way Cross-Over, Phase I Study to Evaluate the Response to Glucagon Versus the Spontaneous Counter-Regulatory Response in T2DM Patients Treated With AZD1656 and Metformin During Hypoglycemia
