Summary
This study will investigate how the body processes nasal glucagon and the effect of nasal glucagon on the body. After an 8-hour overnight fast and 4 hours after the start of a low-carbohydrate breakfast, the study drug will be delivered into the participant's nostril(s) (intranasally) once or twice in each of four study periods. The study is open to adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and is expected to last about 50 days for each participant.
