Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Euglycemic and hypoglycemic clamp

Arm Description

Subjects will complete clamp study visit.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

cognitive function correlation to blood or interstitial glucose
This investigator initiated study will evaluate cognitive function at the onset, during and following recovery from hypoglycemia and will determine if cognitive function correlates better with blood or interstitial glucose concentrations.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of hypoglycemia on cognition in healthy individuals and how well changes in (interstitial) tissue glucose levels correlate with changes in cognitive function as compared to blood glucose levels.
Detailed Description
Subjects will undergo hypoglycemic clamps during which interstitial glucose will be measured and cognitive function will be assessed.
