Insugen R Refil 100 IU Cartridge 3 ML contains regular human insulin (100 IU), which works on the body as follows:

• Glucose uptake stimulation: Regular human insulin helps glucose move from your bloodstream into muscle and fat cells, where it can be used for energy production.
• Liver glucose production inhibition: It prevents your liver from producing and releasing additional glucose into your bloodstream, which helps maintain proper blood sugar levels.
• Onset of action: After injection, regular human insulin begins working within approximately 30 minutes to lower your blood glucose levels, making it suitable for mealtime insulin requirements.
• Metabolic regulation: By mimicking the action of naturally produced insulin in your body, it helps regulate the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins to maintain balanced energy utilisation.

• Store in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C.
• Do not freeze the injection; discard any vials that have been frozen.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Check the expiry date before use and never use after this date.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake carefully and consider keeping a food diary to help understand how different foods affect your blood glucose levels.
• Engage in regular physical activity (like walking for 30 minutes daily) to improve insulin sensitivity and help your body use glucose more effectively.
