Synopsis:

Fasting and postprandial glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and C-peptide levels in 25 newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic children were not different from 22 healthy children used as control. This suggests that plasma GLP-1 levels play no role in the pathogenesis of Type 1 diabetes.

Abstract

Objective: To reveal the possible role of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic children.

Methods: Twenty-five newly diagnosed children and 22 healthy children were included in the study.
