For Parts 1 and 2 (Healthy adult participants)

• Healthy male and female participants between the ages of 18 and 50 years (inclusive)
• Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥18.5 kg/m^2 and ≤28.0 kg/m^2 at screening
• Have fasting blood glucose values at screening must be <100 mg/dL
• Be a non-smoker and/or has not used nicotine or nicotine-containing products (e.g., nicotine patch) for at least approximately 3 months.

For Part 3 (Adult participants with T1DM):

• Be male, or female of non-childbearing potential between 18 to 60 years of age
• Have a diagnosis of T1DM as defined by standard diagnostic criteria for ≥12 months at time of the pretrial (screening) visit
• Have a BMI ≥18.5 kg/m^2 and ≤32 kg/m^2 at screening.
• Be on stable doses of basal insulin over the 2-week period prior to screening and over the 2 weeks prior to dosing
• Have a total daily insulin requirement (basal plus prandial) of ≤1.2 units/kg at screening
• Have a hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≤10% at the screening visit.
• Be a non-smoker or smoker who uses no more than 5 cigarettes or equivalent (e.g., e-cigarettes) per day over the prior 3-month period also may be enrolled (at the discretion of the investigator).
• Have a serum C-peptide concentration ≤0.7 ng/mL with a concurrent plasma glucose >90 mg/dL at screening or anytime within 24 weeks prior to screening.

For Part 4 (Adult participants with T2DM):

• Diagnosis of T2DM as defined by standard diagnostic criteria for ≥12 months at time of pretrial screening.
• Have a BMI ≥18.5 kg/m2 and ≤35.0 kg/m^2 at screening. BMI = mass (kg)/height (m)^2.
• Have a hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) ≥6.5% and ≤10.0%.
• T2DM participants are not required to have been on insulin. If using insulin as background therapy, subjects should have a total daily insulin requirement of ≤1.2 units/kg, and have been on stable doses of basal insulin over the 2-week period prior to screening and over the 2 weeks prior to dosing.
• Be a non-smoker or smoker who uses no greater than 5 cigarettes or equivalent (e.g., e-cigarettes) daily over the prior 3-month period.
