Study | Population | Intervention | Comparator | Outcome |
---|---|---|---|---|
Halperin, 2010 (113) | Symptomatic RYGB, n = 1 | Glucagon IV infusion in cross-over study | Vehicle | During MMT, glucagon eliminated the post-prandial hypoglycaemia evident with vehicle infusion. |
Mulla, 2020 (112) | Symptomatic RYGB, n = 12 | Automated glucagon SC boluses of 150 and 300 µg in cross-over study | Vehicle | During MMT, the algorithm predicted hypoglycaemia and administered glucagon boluses, obviating the need for rescue glucose treatment, and increasing nadir post-prandial plasma glucose in comparison to vehicle. |
Nielsen, 2022 (114) | RYGB with hypoglycaemia on CGM, n = 10 | Single dose of 80 µg or 200 µg dasiglucagon in three-way cross-over trial | Placebo | Increased nadir glucose and reduced time in hypoglycaemia <3.9 mmol/L during MMT compared to placebo, for both doses of dasiglucagon. |
CGM, continuous glucose monitoring; IV, intravenous; MMT, mixed meal test; RYGB, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass; SC, subcutaneous.
