Modern insulin products are improved versions of human insulin. NovoRapid® is used to REDUCE THE HIGH BLOOD SUGAR LEVEL in adults, adolescents and children aged 1 year and above with diabetes mellitus (diabetes). Diabetes is a disease where your body does not produce enough insulin to control the level of your blood sugar. Treatment with NovoRapid® helps to prevent complications from your diabetes. NovoRapid® will start to lower your blood sugar 10–20 minutes after you inject it, a maximum effect occurs between 1 and 3 hours after the injection and the effect lasts for 3–5 hours. Due to this short action NovoRapid® should normally be taken in combination with intermediate–acting or long–acting insulin preparations. _2. _ _WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE NOVORAPID® _ DO NOT USE NOVORAPID® ► If you are allergic to insulin aspart, or any of the other ingredients in this medicine (see Preberite celoten dokument
