Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of this trial is to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (the exposure of the trial drug in the body) and pharmacodynamics (the effect of the investigated drug on the body) of insulin degludec (insulin 454), an explorative formulation, not similar to the proposed commerical formulation.

Interventions

DRUGinsulin degludec

Ascending single doses - 5 dose levels. Escalation to next dose level will be performed following evaluation of safety data.

DRUGplacebo

Ascending single doses - 5 dose levels

A single dose of 0.4 IU/kg is administered to subjects with type 1 diabetes while a single dose of 0.6 IU/kg is administered to subjects with type 2 diabetes
