Clinical Trial Summary

This study is to analyze whether the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin or the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra may improve postprandial hypoglycemia in subjects with prediabetes.


Clinical Trial Description

Subjects with prediabetes may develop postprandial hypoglycemia. This is probably due to a dysfunction of the insulin producing β-cell characterized by a delayed and exaggerated insulin secretion leading to an initial peak in glycaemia followed by a rapid fall and eventually resulting in hypoglycemia. The latter occurring typically within 1 to 3 hours after food intake. In patients with gastric bypass surgery and postprandial hypoglycemia the SGLT2-inhibitor empagliflozin and the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra reduced postprandial insulin release and prevented hypoglycemia. This study is to analyze whether a similar therapeutic approach using empagliflozin and anakinra may also improve postprandial hypoglycemia in subjects with prediabetes. ;
