Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study Clinical TrialImproved postprandial glycemic control with Humalog Mix75/25 after a standard test meal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This double-blind study was designed to compare the postprandial glucodynamic profile of Humalog Mix75/25, a new premixed insulin analogue containing 75% neutral protamine lispro and 25% insulin lispro with that of human insulin 70/30 (70% neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin and 30% regular human insulin) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. ⋯ In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, premeal injection of Mix75/25 resulted in better postprandial glycemic control than did premeal injection of 70/30 in the 4 hours after a standard meal. Mix75/25 is a valuable option for managing postprandial blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require insulin.
