Abstract
We investigated the association between arginine-stimulated glucagon secretion (AUCIRG) and several parameters of glycaemic variability in 12 patients with type 1 diabetes without residual beta-cell function. AUCIRG positively correlated with the SD and mean amplitude of glycaemic excursions, thus glucagon might contribute to glycaemic instability, independent of endogenous insulin.Entities:
