Drugs for diabetes

Method 1: short acting insulin, also known as conventional insulin, is the most commonly used common insulin. It starts to take effect about 20 minutes after subcutaneous injection and can last for 5-8 hours. It is generally injected 15-20 minutes before three meals to neutralize the blood sugar rise produced by the food eaten in each meal.

Method 2: medium acting insulin, also known as low protamine zinc insulin, is a milky white turbid liquid. It takes more than one hour to take effect after subcutaneous injection, which can last for 12-14 hours. Injection of medium acting insulin before bedtime can maintain the basic level of insulin at night, avoid the peak of insulin at night, and reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia at night.

Method 3: long acting insulin, also known as protamine zinc insulin, takes effect in 3-4 hours and lasts for 24-36 hours. The effect of long-acting insulin is weak and long-lasting, and the effect alone is not good, so it needs to be combined with oral hypoglycemic drugs or short acting insulin.

Finally, I would like to remind you once again that the diet therapy for diabetics should be adjusted and mastered flexibly at any time according to their condition. Emaciated diabetic patients can be relaxed to ensure the total calories. Obese patients must strictly control diet, mainly low calorie fat diet, to reduce weight.
