Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Africa. The aim of this trial is to determine if a new formulation (U200) of insulin aspart containing 200 U/mL is bioequivalent to that of a marketed insulin aspart formulation (U100).

Interventions

DRUGinsulin aspart

Bolus 0.1 U/kg administered simultaneously with a continuous infusion of 0.029 U/kg/h via a programmed insulin pump. A total dose of 0.35 U/kg is delivered to the subject in the 12 hour infusion
