Insulin regular, often known by the brand name Humulin R, is a short-acting insulin used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. It is typically administered by injection under the skin two to three times daily, about 30 minutes before meals, to help control glucose levels. This insulin closely mimics natural human insulin, assisting the body in absorbing glucose after meals and preventing the liver from producing additional glucose. The medication plays a critical role in preventing complications associated with high blood sugar, such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, and cardiovascular problems. It may also be used alongside other diabetes medications, like metformin, or in combination with medium- or long-acting insulin products to enhance blood sugar control. Humulin R is available in two strengths: U-100 (100 units/mL), which can be purchased over-the-counter or by prescription, and U-500 (500 units/mL), available by prescription only. The U-500 strength also comes in a prefilled pen format. Some common side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and potential irritation at the injection site. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting or adjusting any medication regimen.
