Diabetes is a lifelong disease. The quality of blood sugar control directly affects the patient's condition. Using insulin treatment can quickly control blood sugar, relieve glycotoxicity, and make up for the deficiency of endogenous insulin. There are many types of insulin , which can be divided into short-acting, medium-acting, long-acting and premixed insulin. How should we choose so many different insulin diabetics?
1. Fast-acting insulin:
injection before meals absorbs rapidly, and the effect time is fast, which can control blood sugar after meals well. Note that you must eat carbohydrate within 10 minutes of medication, otherwise hypoglycemia will occur. This type of insulin includes aspart insulin and insulin lispro.
2. Short-acting insulin:
is different from fast-acting insulin. This insulin can be administered subcutaneously, intramuscularly, and intravenously. It takes effect 30 minutes after subcutaneous injection, reaching a peak of 1 to 3 hours, and lasts for 3 to 5 hours. This insulin is somewhat different from fast-acting insulin. There is a subcutaneous absorption process, which is slightly different from the physiological insulin secretion of humans.
If the time of eating is too close to the time of insulin injection, it may cause poor blood sugar control after meals and may cause hypoglycemia. Mainly include Gan Shulin R, Nuo Ling R, etc.
3. Medium-effect insulin:
is used for basal insulin treatment, controlling fasting blood sugar at night and early morning , , . Medium-effect insulin is divided into hypoprostin zinc insulin and hypoprostin zinc human insulin.
4. Long-acting insulin: The effect of
can maintain smoothly for 24 hours, and it is more suitable for basal insulin treatment, which is not prone to nocturnal hypoglycemia and fewer side effects such as weight loss. Long-acting insulin analogs include insulin glargine , detergent, and deguin insulin.
5. Premixed insulin:
This insulin is generally a combination of medium- and long-acting insulin and short-acting insulin. It is usually injected before meals to simulate the normal secretion of human blood sugar. Medium- and long-term insulin controls fasting blood sugar, is a basal insulin, and supplements the secretion of insulin except for eating.
The fast-acting insulin in is used to control post-meal blood sugar and keep post-meal blood sugar stable. So far, there are many types of premixed insulin and the ratios are also different. You should follow the doctor's advice when using it and should not be adjusted at will. Representatives include Youmale 25R, Youmale 50R, Nohel 30R, Nohel 50R, etc.
How should diabetics store insulin in daily life?
Insulin should be avoided from heat and sunlight. Do not place it in a high-temperature environment. Even in winter, insulin should not be directly exposed to sunlight to avoid failure.
Generally, insulin used without opening the bottle should be stored in refrigerated, and the insulin during the validity period can be stored for 2-2.5 years. The insulin injection that has been started can generally be stored at room temperature (up to 25℃) for 4 weeks.
It should be noted that insulin must not be frozen. Once it is found that insulin has frozen, it should be discarded because it will fail.
