Summary
This study is designed to examine the value of infusing BHB in type 1 diabetic subjects during experimentally induced hypoglycemic episode in conjunction with testing of cognitive function. This will lay the basis for subsequent trials exploring the novel use of therapeutic doses of oral ketone formulations that are currently under commercial development, which could serve as adjunct therapies to protect the brain from hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic subjects experiencing recurrent hypoglycemia.
