This study is comparing the concentration of a single dose of insulin icodec when administered in the belly, upper arm and thigh on different occasions.
Participants will receive one injection of insulin icodec on three different occasions, each time injected at a different site, i.e. either on our belly, upper arm or thigh.
The study will last for about 34 weeks. Participants will have 23 visits with the study doctor. Informed Consent (V0) visit and screening visit (V1) will be performed on two different days. The informed consent visit may be performed via telephone to minimize personal contact with site staff during the coronavirus outbreak.
Women cannot take part if pregnant, breast- feeding or plan to become pregnant during the study period.
