The pramlintide dose will be calculated based on the subjects' individual insulin units. Dose ratio to be examined is pramlintide 6 mcg for each unit of insulin.
The pramlintide dose will be calculated based on the subjects' individual insulin units. Dose ratio to be examined is pramlintide 9 mcg for each unit of insulin.
The pramlintide dose will be calculated based on the subjects' individual insulin units. Dose ratio to be examined is pramlintide 12 mcg for each unit of insulin.
