Acute effects of C-peptide on gastric emptying in longstanding type 1 diabetes.
Gastric emptying (GE) of a solid (100 g beef) and liquid (150 ml 10 % dextrose) meal was measured in eight patients with type 1 diabetes during intravenous infusion of C-peptide (6 pmol/kg/ min) or isotonic saline. C-peptide had no effect on either solid or liquid GE.
