The subject is capable of giving informed consent, complying with the restrictions and requirements of the protocol Exclusion Criteria: 1. The subject is suffering from any disease, including Type 2 diabetes or its complications that, in the opinion of the Investigator, is sufficiently severe to render the subject unfit, or affect the subject's ability, to participate in the study, for example: * Macroangiopathy with symptoms of coronary heart disease or peripheral arterial obstructive disease. * Microangiopathy with symptoms of (autonomous) neuropathy with any one or more of the following: gastroparesis * Symptoms of poor blood glucose control (polyuria, polydipsia or weight loss) 2.

The subject has participated in any other clinical study involving blood draws or administration of an unlicensed medicinal product within 12 weeks prior to the screening visit (This does not preclude a subject from being re-screened for this study at a later date within the 12 week period, provided they were not randomised ) 8. The subject has received insulin within 12 months prior to the screening visit, with the exception of insulin therapy during hospitalization, insulin therapy for medical conditions not requiring hospitalization (\<2 weeks duration) or use in gestational diabetes 9. The subject is suffering from serious concurrent renal disease or creatinine clearance \<60 mL/min 10. Non-surgically sterilised, pre-menopausal female subject, who does not agree to use a double barrier method of contraception from the screening visit until at least 14 days after the last dosing day (Examples of permitted types of contraception are: condoms, cervical cap in conjunction with spermicide, sterilisation and intra-uterine device.

The subject has a clinically significant liver disease with aspartate-amino-transferase (AST) and alanine-amino-transferase (ALT) \>2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) at the screening visit 14. The subject has diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg and/or systolic blood pressure \>180 mmHg at the screening visit 15. The presence of any other condition that leads the investigator to conclude that the patient is inappropriate for inclusion in the clinical study
