If there is a drug that decreases hepatic gluconeogenesis, would it only help with patients with Diabetes Type 2? Or would it also help with paients with Type 1 diabetes? If so or so not, can you explain how? I know Type 2 can be helped with this, but I’m not sure about Type 1. Thanks

If a type 1 suffers from ‘dawn phenomenon’ It just might help. Your liver dumps glucose into your body in the morning so you have energy to ‘hunt’ for food. In type 1’s, there is no insulin to metabolize the blood sugars.
I don’t believe that any doctor would prescribe this type of treatment. I am not sue if there is a drug that will be short acting enough to prevent causing problems.
Of course, I am not a doctor.
