Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the way by which Alprazolam (Xanax) an anti-anxiety
drug affects specialized molecules in your brain called GABA (A) receptors that alter your
body's ability to defend itself from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). We hypothesize that
prior activation of GABA (A) receptors may result in blunting of counterregulatory responses
during subsequent hypoglycemia and exercise.
