Description

Insulin aspart (IN-su-lin AS-part)is a fast-acting type of human insulin. Insulin is used by people with sugar diabetes to help keep blood sugar levels under control. If you have sugar diabetes, your body cannot make enough or does not use insulin properly. So, you must take additional insulin to regulate your blood sugar and keep your body healthy. This is very important as too much sugar in your blood can be harmful to your health. Since insulin aspart acts faster than regular human insulin, you normally should use insulin aspart with a longer-acting insulin.
