Brief summary

This trial is conducted in the United States of America (USA). The aim of this trial is to compare repaglinide and metformin administered as an individual tablets with repaglinide and metformin administered as a combination tablet.

Interventions

DRUGrepaglinide

Subjects will receive 850 mg metformin alone on a fasting state, 2 mg repaglinide alone on a fasting state, 2 mg repaglinide/850 mg metformin (NN4440 2/850) in the fasting state or 2 mg repaglinide/850 mg metformin (NN4440 2/850) immediately prior to a standardised high fat meal on 4 separate dosing visits in varying order

DRUGmetformin

Subjects will receive 850 mg metformin alone on a fasting state, 2 mg repaglinide alone on a fasting state, 2 mg repaglinide/850 mg metformin (NN4440 2/850) in the fasting state or 2 mg repaglinide/850 mg metformin (NN4440 2/850) immediately prior to a standardised high fat meal on 4 separate dosing visits in varying order
