About the Different Types of Insulin
Friday, November 28th, 2008
With over 15 million Americans diagnosed with type-2 diabetes and possibly millions more who are not yet diagnosed.
And for those who have been diagnosed, for some their pancreas can still produce the hormone known as insulin but due to aging or even obesity, the less insulin is produced.
So, type-2 diabetics will need to rely on injections of manufactured insulin to control their blood sugar (or blood glucose level) or taking diabetic related pills.
But in order to achieve control over one’s blood sugar, it is important to know the various types of insulin available.
Insulin is categorized by how fast they work, when the insulin reaches its peak and takes action and then how long the hormone will stay in the body.
