Biphasic insulins conveniently provide both prandial and basal insulin in a single injection.

The purpose of this study was to analyze biochemical measures of oxidative stress and assess their relationship to insulin requirements early in type 1 diabetes. Thirty-seven patients enrolled in a 3-yr longitudinal study of the effects of oxidative stress on the early natural history of this disorder. We measured plasma nitrite and nitrate (collectively NOx), nitrotyrosine, and 8-iso-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)).

The present study was performed to determine whether nitric oxide overproduction is associated with deterioration in peripheral nerve function in type 1 diabetes. We measured peripheral nerve function and biochemical indicators of nitrosative stress annually for 3 years in 37 patients with type 1 diabetes. Plasma nitrite and nitrate (collectively NO(x)) were 34.
