Can an antidepressant pill help fight dangerous lows in diabetes?

NCT ID NCT03228732

Summary

This early research study aims to understand if two substances—the antidepressant fluoxetine (Prozac) and/or a hormone called DHEA—can help the body better defend itself against dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in people with Type 1 diabetes. Researchers will measure the body's responses in about 60 participants who are given either one substance, both, or a placebo. The goal is to gather knowledge about how these substances affect the body's natural defenses, not to provide a direct treatment benefit.
