Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: LY2189265 then Placebo; LY2189265 (Dulaglutide) then Placebo: A single 1.5 milligram (mg) subcutaneous (SC) injection of LY2189265 on Day 1 in Period 1, followed by a single SC injection of Placebo on Day 1 in Period 2. On Day 3 of each period, participants underwent a 6-hour insulin infusion, followed by an intravenous (IV) dextrose bolus (0.3 gram/kilogram [g/kg] over approximately 2 minutes). Three hours later, participants were administered a second IV dextrose bolus of 25 g of 50% dextrose or a suitably adjusted dose according to glycemic status (20 g of 50% dextrose for participants with 3-hour glucose between 5.2 and 10 millimole/liter [mmol/L] or 15 g of 50% dextrose for participants with 3-hour glucose >10 mmol/L), followed by a 20% dextrose at the set infusion rate of 600 milliliter/hour [mL/h] for 35 minutes. Fifteen minutes after the start of the 20% dextrose infusion, an IV 1-mg glucagon bolus was administered. There was a washout period of at least 28 days between Periods 1 and 2.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Maximum Insulin Concentration (Cmax) - First Phase Response	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.	0-10 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose
Area Under the Insulin Concentration-time Curve (AUC) - First Phase Response	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.	0-10 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose

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.	10-180 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 postdose
Insulin Area Under the Curve (AUC) - Second Phase Response	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 10 to 180 minutes (INSAUC[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.	10-180 minutes after dextrose bolus on Day 3 post dose
