INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION is used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in adults and children. It helps to lower the blood sugar (glucose) level by facilitating the uptake of glucose. It is followed by the binding of insulin to the cells of muscle and fat cells, thereby inhibiting glucose release from the liver. Thus, it helps to decrease blood glucose levels after the intake of meals. It may cause side effects such as allergic reaction at the site of injection, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), itching, lipodystrophy (skin thickening or pits at the injection site), oedema (swelling), rashes, and weight gain.

About INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION

INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION is a combination insulin injection used to improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes mellitus. It combines a short-acting insulin and an intermediate-acting insulin to help control blood sugar after meals while maintaining stable blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. 

For best results, inject INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION consistently at the same times every day, typically shortly before a meal. Skipping meals after an injection can cause your blood sugar to drop too low. Alongside your injections, following a balanced diet plan and maintaining a regular exercise routine are crucial for managing your condition.
The most common side effect of this medicine is low blood sugar. You may also experience mild redness or swelling where you inject. If you notice signs of a severe allergic reaction, such as swelling of your throat or trouble breathing, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Do not take this if you are currently experiencing an episode of low blood sugar. Before starting INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION, tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems, as your dose may need adjustment. This medicine is not suitable for individuals who have had a severe allergic reaction to any of its ingredients.

Certain medicines, alcohol, and lifestyle habits like smoking can affect how this insulin works in your body. For instance, drinking alcohol can make your blood sugar levels drop unpredictably. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an older adult, consult your doctor or pharmacist to ensure this treatment is safe for you.

How INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION Works

INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION contains human insulin (regular insulin) and insulin isophane (NPH insulin), which work together to help control blood sugar levels throughout the day. Human insulin is a short-acting insulin that is absorbed quickly after injection. It helps move glucose from the bloodstream into the body's cells for energy and reduces the rise in blood sugar that occurs after meals. Insulin isophane is an intermediate-acting insulin that is absorbed more slowly and provides a steady supply of insulin over a longer period. It helps control blood sugar levels between meals and during the night by supporting the continuous uptake of glucose into cells. Together, these actions help lower blood sugar levels by moving glucose into the body's cells for energy while also reducing the amount of glucose released by the liver, providing more consistent blood sugar control throughout the day.

FAQs

INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION is used for the treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Insulin kept out of the refrigerator will not poison you or even make you sick. It just means that your INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION will not work as well or deliver its full potential dose. In simple terms, if your blood sugar is high, and you use the insulin that has been kept out, your blood sugar may not be lowered. In short efficacy of INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION will be decreased if not kept in the refrigerator between 2-8 degrees Celsius.
If INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION is taken in more than the recommended doses, it can cause mild to severe hypoglycemic episodes.
Symptoms of high blood sugar include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, vomiting, shortness of breath, nausea, stomach pain, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, and a fast heartbeat.
It's generally recommended to limit or avoid alcohol consumption while taking INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION, as it can interact with insulin and affect blood sugar control. Alcohol can also increase the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). If you choose to drink alcohol, it's essential to monitor your blood sugar levels closely and consult with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Storage: Store INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C and 8°C. Do not freeze it. Please keep it away from direct heat and light. Before use, ensure the insulin appears uniformly white and cloudy after resuspension. If it does not, do not use it. Disposal: Dispose of used needles in a puncture-resistant container. Do not reuse needles. Once the INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION is empty or no longer needed, dispose of it according to local regulations for medical waste. Do not throw it in household trash.
No, you should not inject INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION if you are skipping a meal. Because this medicine contains a fast-acting component that lowers blood sugar quickly to handle food, skipping a meal after injecting can lead to severe low blood sugar. Talk to your doctor if you need to adjust your eating schedule.
The best areas for subcutaneous injection are your abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or the back of your upper arms. The abdomen absorbs insulin the fastest. You should rotate your injection sites within these areas for each dose. Talk to your doctor to find the best injection routine for you.
If you feel shaky, sweaty, or dizzy, consume 15 grams of fast-acting sugar immediately, such as a half-cup of fruit juice, three to four glucose tablets, or some hard candies. Recheck your blood sugar after 15 minutes. If it is still low, take another portion of sugar. Talk to your doctor if you experience frequent low blood sugar episodes.
No, you should not mix INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION with other insulin formulations in the same syringe. Doing so can alter how both insulins are absorbed and make your blood sugar levels highly unpredictable. Always use INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION exactly as it is supplied. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if your treatment plan requires multiple types of insulin.
Yes, keeping blood sugar well-controlled is highly important during pregnancy, and this type of insulin is commonly prescribed to pregnant women. However, your insulin needs can change significantly during pregnancy and after delivery. Talk to your doctor to adjust your dose as your pregnancy progresses.
Pain can occur from cold insulin, dull needles, or improper technique. Bumpy skin (lipodystrophy) happens if you inject into the exact same spot too many times, which causes fat tissue to swell or shrink. Always use a new needle for each injection and rotate your injection sites. Talk to your doctor if the bumps do not go away.
Yes, you can travel with INSUCARE M 30 (30/70)40UI INJECTION. Carry your in-use insulin and spare supplies in your hand luggage so they do not freeze in the cargo hold of an aeroplane. Use an insulated travel bag if you are travelling in extreme heat, and never leave your insulin in a parked car. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist for a travel letter if needed.
