Short‐term changes in pancreatic α‐cell function after the onset of fulminant type 1 diabetes

Response to “Preserved” glucagon secretion in fulminant type 1 diabetes

“…We thank Murase-Mishiba et al for their comments 1 on our case report 2 . The Authors reported that glucagon responses to mixed meal test were not impaired in patients with fulminant type 1 diabetes whose diabetes duration was >4 years.…”

Beginning of a new era in glucagon research: Breakthrough by the new glucagon assay

“…A study by Takahashi et al. 9 reported a critical observation regarding the significance of glucagon unresponsiveness in hypoglycemia, observed in a patient with fulminant type 1 diabetes. The authors reported a sharp increase of glucagon in the arginine stimulation test just after the onset of the disease.…”

“Preserved” glucagon secretion in fulminant type 1 diabetes

“…We have read with interest the recent article by Takahashi et al 1 showing the changes in pancreatic a-cell function of a patient with fulminant type 1 diabetes. The pancreatic aand b-cell functions were assessed by the arginine stimulation test.…”
