The study is designed as an open labeled pilot trial to analyze the acute responses of glucose, GLP-1, GIP, insulin secretory,and glucagon to a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) or intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT) with and without pretreatment with Exenatide (Byetta) 5 mcg sc. The investigators will also test the effects of Exenatide on gastric emptying during the MMTT.

Effect of exenatide on metabolic responses to an oral (as a mixed meal) or intravenous glucose challenge in subjects with established T1D with or without residual insulin production.
We will measure the hormonal and metabolic changes during a mixed meal and intravenous glucose tolerance test with and without exenatide pretreatment in subjects with and without residual insulin production.
Time frame: Each patients is estimated to finish the study within 4-6 weeks
Effect of exenatide on insulin secretion, glucagon secretion, GLP-1 and GIP levels, and gastric emptying in these patients with T1D. - effect of exenatide on residual insulin production
In addition to measuring the levels of glucose and gastric emptying, we will measured glucagon levels, insulin secretion rates, GLP-1 and GIP hormonal levels during the provocative tests.
Time frame: 4-6 weeks
