About this study

Participants are being asked to be in a research study. Scientists do research to answer important questions which might help change or improve treatment of participants disease in the future. In patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), dapagliflozin a Selective Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitor (SGLT2i) is known to increase production of glucose in the liver, increase breakdown of fats (lipolysis), and increase production of ketones (ketogenesis). Ketones are chemicals produced by the liver when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of glucose. When the level of ketones in the body becomes too high, a condition called ketoacidosis develops. In this study, the study team will investigate whether adding pioglitazone (a medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes), can reduce the dapagliflozin - induced liver glucose production, fat break down (lipolysis) and ketone body production (ketogenesis) in patients with T1D.
