5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to assess if vildagliptin and dapagliflozin have dissociated effects on glucagon secretion after a mixed meal ingestion in metformin-treated subjects with type 2 diabetes and whether this is associated with effects on glucose homeostasis.
Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to assess if vildagliptin and dapagliflozin have dissociated effects on glucagon secretion after a mixed meal ingestion in metformin-treated subjects with type 2 diabetes and whether this is associated with effects on glucose homeostasis. Subjects will therefore be treated with vildagliptin or dapagliflozin as add-on to metformin for two weeks followed by a meal test in which glucagon levels will be determined.
