• Positive test for insulin antibodies.

• History of bronchial asthma or any other bronchospastic disease, and/or convulsions, and/or porphyria.

• Relevant history or laboratory or clinical findings indicative of acute or chronic disease, likely to influence study outcome.

• Resting pulse of >100 beats per minute (bpm) or <40 bpm during the screening period, either supine or standing.
