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.

Dosage and Administration

• Administer subcutaneously 30 minutes before meals as prescribed by a healthcare professional
• Dose individualized based on blood glucose monitoring, diet, and lifestyle
• Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy
• Can be used alone or in combination with intermediate-acting or long-acting insulin
• Monitor blood glucose regularly to adjust dosage

Benefits

• Rapidly controls postprandial blood glucose
• Provides flexibility in meal-time glucose management
• Can be combined with basal insulin for complete glycemic control
• Recombinant DNA technology ensures high purity and low risk of allergic reactions
• Supports better long-term diabetes management and reduces complications

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
• Injection site reactions such as redness, swelling, or itching
• Mild weight gain

Rare side effects:

• Severe allergic reactions
• Lipodystrophy at repeated injection sites

Seek immediate medical attention for severe hypoglycemia or allergic reactions.

Precautions

• Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential
• Adjust dose during illness, stress, or changes in diet or activity
• Use cautiously in patients with kidney, liver, or cardiovascular disease
• Keep a source of fast-acting sugar to manage hypoglycemia

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to Insulin Human or any component of the formulation
