to ascertain whether the ability of glucose to influence the pancreatic islets response to a nonglucose stimulus is normal in type ii diabetics , we have evaluated the modulating effect ( md ) of the plasma glucose level ( pg ) on the acute insulin response ( iri ) and glucagon response ( irg ) to intravenous arginine in noninsulin-dependent diabetics ( niddm ) and nondiabetics ( nd ) .
