A Study of Single and Repeated Doses of Glucagon Administered to Participants With Diabetes

This study will investigate how the body processes nasal glucagon and the effect of nasal glucagon on the body. After an 8-hour overnight fast and 4 hours after the start of a low-carbohydrate breakfast, the study drug will be delivered into the participant's nostril(s) (intranasally) once or twice in each of four study periods. The study is open to adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes and is expected to last about 50 days for each participant.

* Donation of 500 mL or more of blood (Canadian Blood Services, Hema-Quebec, clinical studies, etc.) in the previous 56 days before Day 1 of this study
