Insulin-Long Suspension

Insulin-Long suspension: everything you need to know

Insulin is an important hormone that is needed to regulate blood glucose levels. It is produced by the pancreas and helps transport glucose from the blood into cells, where it is used as an energy source. However, in people with diabetes, this process is disrupted, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. Various forms of insulin are used to treat this condition, including Insulin-Long suspension.

Insulin-Long suspension belongs to the group of long- and extra-long-acting insulins, which are used to maintain stable blood glucose levels for a long time. This is especially important for people with type 1 diabetes, who are unable to produce enough of their own insulin to regulate blood glucose levels.

The international name Insulin-DLD, as well as synonyms such as Insulin Superlente, Insulin Ultralente and Humulin Ultralente, refer to different manufacturers of long-acting insulin, but they all have similar properties and are used to achieve the same goal - maintaining stable blood glucose levels.

Insulin-Long suspension is produced in the form of a solution, which is administered subcutaneously using special syringes. The action of insulin begins a few hours after administration and lasts up to 24-36 hours, allowing patients to reduce the need for frequent insulin injections.

However, before starting to use Insulin-Long suspension, you must consult your doctor and strictly follow the instructions for use, since the dosage of insulin must be individual and depends on many factors, such as blood glucose levels, physical activity and nutrition.

In addition, it is necessary to consider possible side effects, such as hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), which can occur if the insulin dosage is too high or the patient does not follow the correct diet and physical activity.

In general, Insulin-Long suspension is an effective tool for controlling blood glucose levels over a long period of time. However, its use should only be carried out under the supervision of a doctor, who will help you choose the correct dosage and ensure the safety of the patient.
