Insulin Glulisine (Subcutaneous Route)
Drug Information provided by: MicromedexUS Brand Names

Description
Insulin glulisine is a fast-acting type of human insulin. Insulin is used by people with diabetes mellitus to help keep blood sugar levels under control. If you have diabetes, your body cannot make enough insulin or does not use insulin properly. So, you must take additional insulin to regulate your blood sugar and keep your body healthy. This is very important as too much sugar in the blood can be harmful to your health. Since insulin glulisine acts faster than regular human insulin, you should normally use insulin glulisine with a longer-acting insulin.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
