Diasulin R Injection 100 IU/ml contains Insulin Human (rDNA), a rapid-acting insulin used for controlling blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Produced using recombinant DNA technology, this insulin works quickly to reduce postprandial blood sugar spikes, providing effective glycemic control when administered before meals. Diasulin R is essential for managing post-meal hyperglycemia and can be combined with intermediate-acting or long-acting insulin for basal-bolus therapy.

Composition
-
Active Ingredient: Insulin Human (rDNA, Regular)
-
Strength: 100 IU/ml
Indications
Diasulin R Injection is indicated for:
-
Type 1 diabetes mellitus requiring insulin therapy
-
Type 2 diabetes mellitus when oral antidiabetic agents are insufficient
-
Management of postprandial hyperglycemia
-
Use in combination with intermediate- or long-acting insulin for basal-bolus therapy
-
Acute glycemic control in hospitalized patients
Mechanism of Action
Regular insulin promotes glucose uptake into muscle and fat cells, inhibits hepatic glucose production, and regulates protein and lipid metabolism. It begins acting within 30 minutes of subcutaneous injection, peaks at 2–4 hours, and maintains effect for 6–8 hours. This rapid action makes it effective for controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes.
