A Study of Single or Repeated Doses of Glucagon in Participants With Diabetes

A Single Center, Randomized, 4-Period Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Safety of Single or Repeated 3 mg Doses of Intranasally Administered Glucagon in Adults With Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes

This study will investigate how the body processes nasal glucagon (NG) and the effect of nasal glucagon on the body. The study is expected to last about 50 days for each participant. The study is open to adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and will last about 50 days.
