Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1
Conditions
Brief summary
The study involves a single injection of LY2963016 and a single injection of Lantus, on 2 separate occasions in participants with type I diabetes. Following each dose, participants will undergo a glucose clamp which lasts for 42 hours each time. There will be at least 7 days between the two periods, during which time there will be no study treatment, but participants will resume their regular therapy. The duration of this study can be up to 9.5 weeks. The purposes of this study are to understand how the blood sugar lowering effect of LY2963016 compares to that of Lantus, and to determine how LY2963016 and Lantus are metabolized by participants with type I diabetes.

Outcome results
Pharmacodynamics: Duration of Action of LY2963016 and Lantus
Duration of action is defined as the period of time elapsed between dose administration and the time at which the participant's blood glucose is consistently \>150 milligrams/deciliter (mg/dL) without any glucose infusion. Participants whose blood glucose did not rise to 150 mg/dL were censored 42 hours postdose.
Time frame: Periods 1 and 2: Baseline up to 42 hours postdose
Population: All randomized participants who received study drug during Periods 1 or 2. Participants were analyzed based on treatment they received. The numbers of participants censored were 7 for both LY2963016 and Lantus groups. Maximum duration of actions is based on participants who reached the end of action before 42 hours: 13 participants for both groups.
