Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

healthy low dose insulin

16 healthy non-diabetic volunteers. The type of insulin tested will be the rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.2 units per kg body weight.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

jet injector (SQ pen/Novopen III)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.2 units per kg body weight, will be injected subcutaneously. On one experimental day insulin will be injected with the jet injector and placebo with the conventional insulin pen. On the other experimental day insulin will be injected with the conventional insulin pen and placebo with the jet injector.

healthy high dose insulin

16 healthy non-diabetic volunteers. The type of insulin tested will be the rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.4 units per kg body weight.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

jet injector (SQ pen/Novopen III)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.4 units per kg body weight, will be injected subcutaneously. On one experimental day insulin will be injected with the jet injector and placebo with the conventional insulin pen. On the other experimental day insulin will be injected with the conventional insulin pen and placebo with the jet injector.

type 1 diabetes mellitus

16 people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The type of insulin tested will be the rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.4 units per kg body weight.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

jet injector (SQ pen/Novopen III)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The rapid-acting insulin analogue insulin aspart (Novorapid®), at a dose of 0.4 units per kg body weight, will be injected subcutaneously. On one experimental day insulin will be injected with the jet injector and placebo with the conventional insulin pen. On the other experimental day insulin will be injected with the conventional insulin pen and placebo with the jet injector.
