Characteristics of T1D and T1D+Tempol rats, 3 weeks after induction of diabetes

	T1D (n = 12)	T1D+Tempol (n = 12)
Body weight (g)	292 ± 3	268 ± 5**
Blood glucose concentration (mg/dL)	532 ± 23	524 ± 22
Food intake (g/day)	38 ± 2	30 ± 2*
Water intake (mL/day)	181 ± 19	116 ± 13*
Urine flow (mL/day)	174 ± 15	106 ± 11**
Creatinine clearance (mL/min)	1.22 ± 0.09	1.20 ± 0.08

Excretory data were derived from 24‐h urine collections in metabolic cages within 48 h of animal killing. Plasma samples were obtained under anesthesia immediately prior to killing.

*P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 versus T1D.
