A Study of LY2605541 and Glargine and Exercise in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes

The Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Intra-subject Variability of LY2605541 and the Effect of Exercise on LY2605541 Pharmacokinetics in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to measure how much of the study drug or insulin glargine gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it. The effect of exercise will also be evaluated.

This study has two parts. In Part A, each participant will receive a daily injection of LY2605541 or insulin glargine for about 15 days. Some participants may continue into Part B. In Part B, participants will receive a daily injection of LY2605541 or insulin glargine with or without exercise. Part B lasts about 6 days.

Participants will remain on their regular physician-prescribed mealtime insulin throughout the study.

• Have a history of hypoglycemia unawareness
• Regular use or intended use of any over-the-counter or prescription medications or nutritional supplements that may affect blood glucose, the body's sensitivity to insulin, or that promote weight loss within 14 days prior to dosing
• Have an average weekly alcohol intake that exceeds 21 units per week (males up to age 65) and 14 units per week (males over 65 and females), or are unwilling to comply with study requirements regarding alcohol consumption
• Currently smokes >5 cigarettes per day, or are unwilling to comply with study requirements regarding smoking or use of tobacco products
• Have a hemoglobin level <8.0 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) (male) or <6.4 mmol/L (female) at screening
• Are currently participating in a weight loss program or plan to do so during the course of the study
• Are receiving chronic (lasting longer than 14 consecutive days) systemic glucocorticoid therapy (excluding topical, intra-articular, and intra-ocular preparations) or have received such therapy within the 4 weeks before dosing
• Have fasting triglycerides >400 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (4.52 mmol/L)
• Have previous history or family history of deep vein thrombosis
