Inclusion criteria: • Adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (as diagnosed clinically) = 12 months • Treated with multiple daily insulin injections = 12 months • Body mass index 18.0-29.4 kg/m2 (both inclusive) • Mass-specific peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) >20 ml/kg/min • HbA1c = 9.5 % (80 mmol/mol) • C-peptide = 0.3 nmol/L Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 44 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products 2. Known haemoglobin < 8.0 mmol/l (<12.8 g/dl) (male) or < 6.4 mmol/l (10.3 g/dl) (female) 3. Systemic (oral or i.v.) corticosteroids, monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, non-selective beta-blockers, growth hormone and non-routine vitamins and herbal products. Furthermore, thyroid hormones are not allowed unless the use of these has been stable during the past 3 months. 4. Suffer from or history of a life-threatening disease (i.e. cancer judged not to be in full remission except basal cell skin cancer or squamous cell skin cancer), or clinically severe diseases that directly influence the study results, as judged by the Investigator. This does not prohibit the participation of patients taking medications that influences the metabolism (e.g. statin) or cardio-respiratory system (e.g. asthma spray) as long as the therapy is stable and is not adapted throughout the run of the trial. Furthermore, it does not excluded patients who have celiac disease (or similar diseases or allergies), as long as the disease is stable, and patients are able to stay on their specific (e.g.) gluten-free diet. 5. Participant with a heart rate < 40 beats per minute (bpm) at screening (after resting for 5 min in supine position) 6. Cardiac problems defined as decompensated heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III and IV) 10 at any time and/or angina pectoris within the last 12 months and/or acute myocardial infarction at any time 7. Supine blood pressure at screening (after resting for 5 min in supine position) outside the range of 90-140 mmHg for systolic or 50-90 mmHg for diastolic (excluding white-coat hypertension; If white coat hypertension is observed then participants will be measured over 15 - 30 min every 5 min in a separate room and mean blood pressure will be used for eligibility assessment.). This exclusion criterion also pertains to participants being on anti-hypertensives 8. Clinically significant abnormal ECG at screening, as judged by the Investigator 9. Severe retinopathy or maculopathy and/or severe neuropathy, in particular autonomic neuropathy, as judged by the Investigator 10. Any chronic disorder or severe disease which, in the opinion of the Investigator might jeopardise participant’s safety or compliance with the protocol 11. History of multiple and/or severe allergies to drugs or foods or a history of severe anaphylactic reaction (except celiac disease – patient must exclude foods that contain gluten from the diet) 12. Surgery or trauma with significant blood loss (more than 500 mL) within the last 3 months prior to screening 13. Participant known to be positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C antibodies (or diagnosed with active hepatitis), for HIV-1 antibodies, HIV-2 antibodies or HIV-1 antigen 14. Significant history of alcoholism or drug/chemical abuse as per Investigator’s judgement. 15. Smoker (defined as a participant who is smoking more than 5 cigarettes or the equivalent per day) 16. Not able or willing to refrain from smoking, or use of nicotine substitute products during the inpatient period 17. Recurrent severe hypoglycaemia (more than 1 severe hypoglycaemic event during the past 12 months) 18. Hypoglycaemic unawareness as judged by the Investigator or hospitalisation for diabetic ketoacidosis during the previous 6 months 19. Participant with mental incapacity or language barriers precluding adequate unders
