7. Considered generally healthy upon completion of medical history, physical examination, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and analysis of laboratory safety variables, as judged by the Investigator
8. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, clinical laboratory tests, and other study procedures including lifestyle considerations.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Positive for human insulin antibodies at Screening
2. Are currently enrolled in or have discontinued within 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of any investigational drug or device or are concurrently enrolled in any other type of medical research study and judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study.
3. Have known allergies to insulin, its excipients, or related drugs or have history of relevant allergic reactions of any origin, or any specific investigational product safety concern.
4. History of diabetes mellitus; episodes of hypoglycemia in the anamnesis; any history of insulin use for treatment purposes.
5. Have clinically relevant history of or current cardiovascular, respiratory, hepatic, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, hematological, or neurological disorders capable of significantly altering the absorption, metabolism, or elimination of drugs; of constituting a risk when taking the study drug; or of interfering with the interpretation of data.
6. Increased risk of thrombosis, e.g., individuals with a history of deep leg vein thrombosis or family history of deep leg vein thrombosis, as judged by the Investigator.
7. Clinically significant abnormal ECG at screening.
8. Glycemia level ≥140 mg/dL 2 hours after the glucose load.
9. Evidence of psychiatric disorder, antagonistic personality, poor motivation, emotional or intellectual problems likely to limit the validity of consent to participate in the study or limit the ability to comply with protocol requirements.
