Human Insulatard 40IU/ml Suspension for Injection 10 ml
Human Insulatard 40IU/ml Suspension for Injection 10 ml

Human Insulatard 40IU/ml Suspension for Injection is used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in both adults and children. It contains Insulin isophane, which works by ensuring rapid and consistent sugar control. It is a fast-acting type of insulin that helps to decrease blood sugar levels after the intake of meals. It prevents the chances of developing serious complications of diabetes. It facilitates the reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and, thus, suppresses the production of sugar in the liver. In some cases, you may experience injection site reactions like redness or swelling. Some people gain weight while taking insulin. You may also experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as cold sweat, cool pale skin, nervousness or tremor, anxious feeling, unusual tiredness or weakness, confusion, difficulty in concentration, drowsiness, excessive hunger, temporary vision changes, headache, nausea and palpitation.

She may be experiencing joint complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic hand syndrome or another inflammatory condition. She should consult her doctor for a proper evaluation, maintain optimal blood sugar control, and follow the recommended hand exercises, physiotherapy, or pain management to preserve joint function and prevent further stiffness.

As a type 2 diabetic who has been using insulin for 10 years, can I get a prescription for Human Actrapid and Human Insulatard injections?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

You can only get a prescription after a proper medical consultation. As a type 2 diabetic using insulin for 10 years, your doctor will need to review your current blood sugar records, overall health, and any complications before deciding if Human Actrapid and Human Insulatard are appropriate for you. Your doctor can then safely adjust the type and dose of insulin to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

I have type 1 diabetes and need a consultation for management. I am using a combination of Human Actrapid and Human Insulatard injections, 10 and 20 units in the morning, and 5 and 5 units in the evening, respectively. Please help.

Continue your current insulin regimen as prescribed and monitor your blood sugar regularly. Dose adjustments may be needed based on your glucose readings, diet, and activity. Please consult your doctor for personalised guidance and regular follow-up.

I have IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) and take Human Actrapid injection (13 units in the morning, 10 units in the afternoon, and 13 units at night) and Human Insulatard injection (12 units at night). Can I get a diet chart?

Dr. S Aneela

Dr. S Aneela

M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD

You should follow a balanced diet with consistent carbohydrate intake to match your insulin doses. Include whole grains, oats, brown rice, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins, while limiting sugar, refined flour, and unhealthy fats. Spread meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to align with your insulin action and prevent large blood sugar spikes. Consult a dietitian for a personalised meal plan tailored to your insulin regimen and daily activity for optimal blood sugar control.
