Insulin Lispro (1 Unit Dial)

Drug Details

Insulin lispro is a synthetic insulin used alongside a healthy diet and exercise to manage high blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. By effectively controlling blood sugar, it helps prevent complications like kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, limb loss, and problems with sexual function. Additionally, proper diabetes management with insulin lispro can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. This medication mimics natural human insulin and acts more quickly but for a shorter duration than regular insulin. It facilitates the entry of glucose into cells, enabling the body to utilize it for energy. Typically, insulin lispro is administered in conjunction with a medium- or long-acting insulin and may also be combined with oral diabetes medications, such as sulfonylureas like glyburide or glipizide.
