Brief Summary

The overall objective of this study is to investigate whether hypoglycaemia (the most potent stimulus of pancreatic glucagon secretion) affects the secretion of gut-derived glucagon in totally pancrea...

Detailed Description

The investigators want to assess the plasma glucagon response to insulin-induced hypoglycaemia in totally pancreatectomised patients and at the same time evaluate whether hypoglycaemia affects a range...
