Diabetes Medication Article
There are more than 20 types of insulin products available in four basic forms, each with a different time of onset and duration of action. The decision as to which insulin to choose is based on an individual's lifestyle, a physician's preference and experience, and the person's blood sugar levels. Among the criteria considered in choosing insulin are:
- how soon it starts working (onset)
- when it works the hardest (peak time)
- how long it lasts in the body (duration)
The insulin products used by people with diabetes are either taken from animals (pigs or cows) or manufactured in labs to be identical to human insulin. Beef insulin is no longer available in the United States. Beginning in January 2006, pork insulin for human use will no longer be manufactured or marketed in the U.S.
