For many people with diabetes, insulin injections are the key to keeping their blood sugar at normal levels. USA Script Helpers supplies both diabetic tablet and insulin medications. Getting the right amount of insulin can seem a bit tricky at first. This is where you’ll need to do some math to get the dose just right. One if the insulin is the NovoLog (insulin aspart), it releases a hormone called insulin into the body to lower glucose (sugar) levels in the blood. It acts like the insulin that your body naturally produces to keep your blood sugar levels normal after eating meals.
You should not use insulin aspart if you are allergic to it, or if you are having an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Insulin aspart is not approved for use by anyone younger than 2 years old, and should not be used to treat type 2 diabetes in a child of any age. Fiasp is for use only in adults.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had: liver or kidney disease; or low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalemia). Tell your doctor if you also take pioglitazone or rosiglitazone (sometimes contained in combinations with glimepiride or metformin). Taking certain oral diabetes medicines while you are using insulin may increase your risk of serious heart problems. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Follow your doctor’s instructions about using insulin if you are pregnant or you become pregnant. Controlling diabetes is very important during pregnancy, and having high blood sugar may cause complications in both the mother and the baby.
