Brief summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The aim of the trial is to investigate different needle features assessed by comparing insulin aspart Pharmacokinetics profiles (the exposure of the trial drug in the body)

Interventions

DRUGinsulin aspart

All subjects make three intervention visits with at least 5 days between individual intervention visits. At each intervention visit the subject receives one insulin aspart injection with only one type of needle.
