A trial to investigate the efffect of a SGLT-2 inhibitor a DPP-4 inhibitor and a SGLT-2 inhibitor + DPP-4 inhibitor on glucagon levels, endogenous glucose production and lipolysis.

A randomized, double-blind, three arm, three treatment period, cross-over trial to investi-gate the effect of a SGLT-2 inhibitor, a DPP-4 inhibitor and a SGLT-2 inhibitor + DPP-4 inhibitor on glucagon levels, endogenous glucose production and lipolysis during hyper-, normo- and hypoglycaemia in subjects with type 2 diabetes using stable tracer technique.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Treatment with any glucose lowering agent(s) other than metformin in a period of 90 days before screening. An exception is short-term treatment (= 7 days in total) with insulin due to intercurrent illness. • Clinically significant abnormal haematology, biochemistry, lipids, hormones, coagu-lation and urinalysis. • Acute symptomatic (according to investigator’s judgement) urinary tract infection or genital infection, chronic or recurrent (= 3 annual episodes) cystitis. • Uncontrolled hypertension defined as sitting blood pressure at screening (after resting for 5 min) outside the range of 90-160 mmHg for systolic or 50-100 mmHg for diastolic. • Chronic liver failure with severe liver dysfunction as assessed by the investigator. ;Exclusion criteria: • Treatment with any glucose lowering agent(s) other than metformin in a period of 90 days before screening.
