New study hopes to unlock Body's natural defense against low blood sugar in type 1 diabetes

NCT ID NCT07373236

First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This study looked at whether blocking a hormone called GLP-1 can help people with type 1 diabetes release glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar when it gets too low. In type 1 diabetes, the body loses this natural safeguard, raising the risk of dangerous low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Researchers tested this idea in 12 adults with type 1 diabetes by giving them a substance that blocks GLP-1 and measuring their glucagon levels. The goal was to see if this approach could lead to a new treatment to reduce hypoglycemia.
