• Hypoglycemia

Quick Suggestions:

• Take it 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.

Indication of Glyset Mix Penset

Insulin Aspart is fast-acting insulin. It starts working within 10-20 minutes after injection. It works like your body's natural insulin. Insulin facilitates the reuptake of glucose in muscles and fat cells and also blocks the release of glucose from the liver.

Pharmacology

Glyset Mix is a sterile suspension of human insulin analog containing 30% soluble Glyset Mix and 70% protamine-crystallized Glyset Mix. It is used to lower blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Glyset Mix has an earlier onset and intermediate duration of action. It differs from regular human insulin by a single substitution of the amino acid proline with aspartic acid at position B28, produced using recombinant DNA technology.

Dosage is individualized. For type 2 diabetes:

• Start with 6 IU at breakfast and 6 IU at dinner.
