Treatment and study plan

insulin aspart

Drug

All subjects make three intervention visits with at least 5 days between individual intervention visits. At each intervention visit the subject receives one insulin aspart injection with only one type of needle.

Primary outcomes

  1. Area under curve insulin aspart measured in serum

    Time frame: During a maximum of 8 hours

  2. Maximum concentration of insulin aspart measured in serum

    Time frame: During a maximum of 8 hours
