WHAT HUMULIN I IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Humulin I contains the active substance human insulin, which is used
to treat diabetes. You
get diabetes if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control
the level of glucose in
your blood (blood sugar). Humulin I is used to control glucose in the
long term. Its action is
prolonged by the inclusion of protamine sulfate in the suspension.
Your doctor may tell you to use Humulin I as well as a fast-acting
insulin. Each kind of
insulin comes with its own patient information leaflet to tell you
about it. Do not change your
insulin unless your doctor tells you to. Be very careful if you do
change insulin. Each type of
insulin has a different colour and symbol on the pack and the vial so
that you can easily tell
the difference.
