  • Somatostatin is secreted by delta cells and inhibits insulin and glucagon secretion. Here Vergari et al. demonstrate a mechanism for somatostatin secretion that is dependent on decreased extracellular potassium and increased intracellular sodium levels, and is altered in islets from patients with diabetes.

  • Impaired glucagon secretion in patients with diabetes causes hypoglycemia. Here the authors show that therapeutic concentrations of insulin inhibit alpha-cell glucagon secretion by stimulating delta-cell insulin receptor and the release of somatostatin. Blocking somatostatin secretion or action ameliorates this effect.
