Funded Activity Summary

Insulin injections are often needed to treat diabetes, but they can cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycaemia), which are usually distressing, and sometimes fatal. The stomach is important in regulating blood sugar; in response to hypoglycaemia, it empties food much more rapidly, allowing carbohydrate to be absorbed faster to normalise blood sugar levels. The proposed studies will explore this important area, in order to develop better ways of preventing and treating hypoglycaemia.
