Effect of LY2189265 on Insulin Secretion in Response to Intravenous Glucose

• Maximum Insulin Concentration (Cmax) - First Phase Response [ Time Frame: 0-10 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  On Day 1 of each treatment period, all participants (healthy or with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]) received a single subcutaneous dose of either LY2189265 or placebo. On Day 3 of each treatment period, participants underwent a 6-hour insulin infusion, followed by an intravenous (IV) dextrose 50% bolus to stimulate insulin secretion. Three hours later, participants were administered a second dextrose bolus, followed by an infusion of 20% dextrose and, 15 minutes after the start of the 20% dextrose infusion, a 1-mg glucagon bolus was administered. Maximum plasma insulin concentration from 0 to 10 minutes (INSCmax[0-10]) following the first dextrose bolus (the first phase response) was corrected for baseline, where baseline was the mean of the insulin concentrations obtained between -30 and 0 minutes relative to the first dextrose bolus.
• Area Under the Insulin Concentration-time Curve (AUC) - First Phase Response [ Time Frame: 0-10 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  On Day 1 of each treatment period, all participants (healthy or with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]) received a single subcutaneous dose of either LY2189265 or placebo. On Day 3 of each treatment period, participants underwent a 6-hour insulin infusion, followed by an intravenous (IV) dextrose 50% bolus to stimulate insulin secretion. Three hours later, participants were administered a second dextrose bolus, followed by an infusion of 20% dextrose and, 15 minutes after the start of the 20% dextrose infusion, a 1-mg glucagon bolus was administered. Area under the plasma insulin concentration time curve from 0 to 10 minutes (INSAUC[0-10]) following the first dextrose bolus (the first phase response) was corrected for baseline, where baseline was the mean of the insulin concentrations obtained between -30 and 0 minutes relative to the first dextrose bolus.
• Maximum Insulin Concentration (Cmax) - Second Phase Response [ Time Frame: 10-180 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  On Day 1 of each treatment period, all participants (healthy or with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]) received a single subcutaneous dose of either LY2189265 or placebo. On Day 3 of each treatment period, participants underwent a 6-hour insulin infusion, followed by an intravenous (IV) dextrose 50% bolus to stimulate insulin secretion. Three hours later, participants were administered a second dextrose bolus, followed by an infusion of 20% dextrose and, 15 minutes after the start of the 20% dextrose infusion, a 1-mg glucagon bolus was administered. Maximum plasma insulin concentration from 10 to 180 minutes (INSCmax[10-180]) following the first dextrose bolus (the second phase response) was corrected for baseline, where baseline was the mean of the insulin concentrations obtained between -30 and 0 minutes relative to the first dextrose bolus.
