Diasulin R Injection 40 IU/ml contains Insulin Human (rDNA), a rapid-acting insulin used to control blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Manufactured using recombinant DNA technology, it provides quick postprandial glucose-lowering action. This lower concentration (40 IU/ml) is suitable for patients who require smaller or more precise doses. Diasulin R helps manage post-meal hyperglycemia and can be combined with intermediate- or long-acting insulin for a complete basal-bolus insulin regimen.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Insulin Human (rDNA, Regular)
• Strength: 40 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
• Control of postprandial hyperglycemia
• Combination therapy with basal insulin in basal-bolus regimens
• Acute glycemic control in hospitalized patients

Mechanism of Action

Regular insulin rapidly lowers blood glucose by:

• Promoting glucose uptake into muscle and fat tissues
• Inhibiting hepatic glucose production
• Supporting protein and lipid metabolism

The onset of action is approximately 30 minutes, with peak effect at 2–4 hours, and duration of action up to 6–8 hours, making 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 levels, diet, and lifestyle
• Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy
• Can be used alone or with intermediate- or long-acting insulin
• Regular monitoring of blood glucose is essential to adjust dosage

Benefits

• Rapidly controls postprandial blood glucose spikes
• Flexible dosing suitable for smaller or precise insulin requirements
• Can be combined with basal insulin for comprehensive glycemic management
• High purity recombinant DNA insulin reduces risk of allergic reactions
• Supports better long-term diabetes management and complication prevention

Side Effects

Common side effects:

• 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

• Monitor blood glucose regularly
• Adjust dose during illness, stress, or changes in diet or physical activity
• Use cautiously in patients with kidney, liver, or cardiovascular conditions
• Keep a source of fast-acting sugar available to manage hypoglycemia

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to Insulin Human or any component of the formulation
• Severe hypoglycemia
