1. 
WHAT HUMULIN M3 IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR 

Humulin M3 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 M3 is
used to control 
glucose in the long term. It is a premixed suspension of rapid
and long acting insulin. 
Its action is prolonged by the inclusion of protamine sulfate in
the suspension.  

Your doctor may tell you to use Humulin M3 as well as
a longer-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 cartridge so that you can easily tell the difference.
