Human insulin

Uses

Human insulin is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (Type 1 and Type 2).

How it Works

How human insulin works Human insulin is a short-acting insulin that begins to take effect within 30 minutes after injection. It functions similarly to the insulin produced by the body. Insulin facilitates the uptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and also suppresses the production of sugar in the liver.

Side Effects

Common side effects of human insulin include hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), weight gain, edema (swelling), and injection site reactions.

Expert Advice

  • Take it 20 to 30 minutes before a meal.
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) is a common side effect.
  • Learn how to identify and manage its symptoms, including:
    • Sweating
    • Rapid heartbeat
    • Weakness
    • Blurry vision
    • Headache
  • Teach your family about these symptoms as well.
  • Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites.
  • Rotate injection sites to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site.
  • Opened vials/cartridges are stable at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
  • Unopened vials must be stored in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
