Glucagon in MODY (Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether fasting and post-prandial glucagon secretion is suppressed by gliclazide in patients with HNF1-/4-alpha MODY. Participants will undergo an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) before and after omitting their gliclazide medication for 3 days.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Omission of gliclazide
|
Other: Omission of gliclazide
Participants will stop taking gliclazide for 3 days. Data from the OGTT will be compared with that prior to stopping the medication.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in plasma glucagon from baseline (0min) [0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.]
Change in the concentration of plasma glucagon from baseline during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), while on gliclazide and after a washout period.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in plasma c-peptide from baseline (0min) [0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.]
To determine whether changes in post-prandial glucagon levels correlate with changes in c-peptide levels in HNF1-/4-alpha MODY patients on and off gliclazide.
- Change in plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) from baseline (0min) [0min, 30min, 60min, 90min and 120min during 75g oral glucose tolerance test.]
To determine whether changes in post-prandial glucagon levels correlate with changes in NEFA levels in HNF1-/4-alpha MODY patients on and off gliclazide.
- Continuous glucose monitor recordings [12 days]
To assess the blood glucose variability on and off gliclazide treatment (only for participants who opt to take part in this optional component).
