Study Description

Brief Summary

This trial is conducted in Europe. The primary aim of this clinical trial is to locate and compare simulated insulin injections (injections of sterile atmospheric air) in normal weight and obese patients with diabetes mellitus. Injections are done with 6 mm and 12 mm needles with and without lifting of skin fold at different injection sites.
