Conditions

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to establish if glucagon-like peptide-1 (a hormone released from the gastrointestinal) has an effect on blood sugar levels in diabetic patients who are critically ill

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether a gut hormone called GLP-1 can help control blood sugar spikes from tube feeding in critically ill patients who have type 2 diabetes. It is for patients aged 18 to 85 who are on a ventilator in intensive care, have pre-existing type 2 diabetes (not requiring insulin before hospital), and can receive feeding through a tube in the small intestine.

Interventions

Intravenous Glucagon-like peptide-1 (reconstituted in 4%albumin) at 1.2pmol/kg/min will be administered for 270 min at 1ml/min. The infusion will commence 30 minutes prior to the commencement of intes

Intravenous Glucagon-like peptide-1 (reconstituted in 4%albumin) at 1.2pmol/kg/min will be administered for 270 min at 1ml/min. The infusion will commence 30 minutes prior to the commencement of intestinal nutrient infusion. Seperated by 24 hours the cross-over treatment is placebo (intravenous 4% Albumin at 1ml/min for 270 min), again commenced 30 minutes prior to intestinal nutrient infusion
