NCT ID NCT03540758

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a drug called diazoxide, which activates certain brain centers, can change how much sugar the liver makes. People with type 2 diabetes often have livers that produce too much sugar, leading to high blood sugar. The study will involve 100 participants (both healthy and with diabetes) to measure this effect using blood tests.
