Explanation
No sign of the effect that was anticipated. In previous pig trials we used acostum made introducer to secure that glucagon was deposited at the axect same site as insulin. However, we were not able to used this in the present study as it was considered as a medical device that we had not applied for to use. So we belive that the cause of no effect is tha glucagon ws deposited at free hand and did not reach the correct subcutaneous site.
Follow-up measures
None as the follow up was only for 24 hours after the second intervention day and all participants were far beyound that.
