2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
To evaluate actions of NN2211, a long-acting GLP-1 derivative, we examined 11 patients with type 2 diabetes, age 59 +/- 7 years (mean +/- SD), BMI 28.9 +/- 3.0 kg/m(2), HbA(1c) 6.5 +/- 0.6%, in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover design.
A single injection (10 microg/kg) of NN2211 was administered at 2300 h, and profiles of circulating insulin, C-peptide, glucose, and glucagon were monitored during the next 16.5 h.
