7. In subjects with medical history of diabetes, medical documentation of postoperative remission of diabetes mellitus (fasting glucose < 110 mg/dL), and HbA1c < 6% (or 42 mmol/mL) with all previous antidiabetic medication discontinued for at least 6 months before screening.

8. Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 40 kg/m2

9. Willingness to follow all study procedures, including attending all clinic visits and self-administering blinded study drug at home for 12 weeks

10. Understands the study procedures, alternative treatment available, and risks involved with the study, and he/she voluntarily agrees to participate by giving written informed consent

11. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test and agree to use contraception and refrain from breast-feeding during the study and for at least 15 days after participating in the study.

1. Documented hypoglycemia occurring in the fasting state (> 12 hours fast) within 12 months of study entry

2. Hypoglycemic unawareness as evidenced by a Gold Scale score > 4 at screening

3. Early Dumping Syndrome

4. Known insulinoma or adrenal insufficiency

5. Active treatment with any insulin/insulin secretagogues, or other diabetes medications except for acarbose and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues

6. Chronic kidney disease Stage 4 or 5 or an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening

7. Hepatic disease, including serum alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase ≥ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); hepatic synthetic insufficiency as defined as serum albumin < 3.0 g/dL

8. Congestive heart failure, New York Heart Association Class III or IV

9. History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or revascularization within 6 months prior to screening.

10. History of a cerebrovascular accident within 6 months prior to screening or with major neurological deficits

12. Active malignancy, except for basal or squamous cell skin cancers

13. Personal or family history of pheochromocytoma or disorder with increased risk of pheochromocytoma (MEN 2, neurofibromatosis, or Von Hippel-Lindau disease)

14. Major surgical operation within 30 days prior to screening

15. Hematocrit ≤ 30%

16. Bleeding disorder, treatment with warfarin, or platelet count < 50,000 /mm3

17. Active alcohol abuse or substance abuse (per investigator assessment)

18. Current chronic administration of oral or parenteral corticosteroids, however topical, intraarticular, and inhaled corticosteroids are allowed

19. Use of an investigational drug within 15 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to screening

20. Member of a special vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, prisoners, institutionalized or incarcerated individuals, or others who may be considered vulnerable

21. Any other medical condition or finding that in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, would compromise the safety of the subject or compromise the integrity of the study data
