---

18 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

LY2881835

Experimental group

Description:

One cohort of healthy participants will receive single oral doses of LY2881835 in up to 3 of the 4 periods in Part A (dose escalation: 0.5 milligram (mg), 1.5 mg, subsequent doses determined based on review of safety, tolerability, glycaemic response and available pharmacokinetic (PK) data from the first 2 dose levels). One cohort of participants with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) will receive single oral doses of LY2881835 in up to 2 of the 3 periods in Part B (dose escalation: starting dose based on review of safety, tolerability, glycaemic response and available PK data from Part A). There is a washout period of at least 5 days between periods (doses).
