INSUCARE M 30/70MG VIAL 10 ML

How INSUCARE M 30/70MG VIAL 10 ML Works

• INSUCARE M 30/70 is a premixed insulin formulation containing both rapid-acting (30%) and intermediate-acting (70%) human insulin. This combination helps manage blood sugar levels effectively throughout the day. The rapid-acting component works quickly to cover insulin needs at mealtimes, while the intermediate-acting component provides a longer-lasting background insulin level.
• Here's how each component works:
• **Rapid-Acting Insulin (30%):** This portion of INSUCARE M 30/70 is designed to mimic the insulin release that occurs naturally after eating. It helps to lower blood glucose levels that rise after meals. Rapid-acting insulin starts working within 30 minutes, peaks in 2-4 hours, and lasts for approximately 4-8 hours. It achieves this by binding to insulin receptors on cells, signaling them to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. This process effectively removes glucose from the blood and transports it into cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use. By promptly addressing the post-meal glucose surge, rapid-acting insulin helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels and prevents hyperglycemia.
• **Intermediate-Acting Insulin (70%):** This component provides a basal or background level of insulin. It helps to control blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. Intermediate-acting insulin starts working within 1-2 hours, peaks in 4-12 hours, and lasts for up to 24 hours. It contains a modified form of insulin that is absorbed more slowly from the injection site. This slower absorption rate results in a prolonged release of insulin into the bloodstream, providing a sustained effect. By ensuring a continuous supply of insulin, intermediate-acting insulin helps to prevent hyperglycemia from occurring in between meals and during periods of fasting. It also reduces the risk of nocturnal hyperglycemia, which can occur while sleeping.
• INSUCARE M 30/70 works by facilitating the uptake of glucose from the blood into cells, primarily in muscle, liver, and fat tissues. Insulin binds to receptors on these cells, triggering a cascade of intracellular events that lead to the translocation of glucose transporters (GLUT4) to the cell surface. These transporters then enable glucose to enter the cells, where it can be used for energy production or stored as glycogen or fat. By promoting glucose uptake, INSUCARE M 30/70 effectively lowers blood glucose levels and helps to maintain glycemic control. In individuals with diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or is unable to use insulin effectively. This can lead to elevated blood glucose levels, which can cause various health problems over time. INSUCARE M 30/70 helps to compensate for the lack of insulin and allows the body to use glucose more efficiently.
• By combining both rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin, INSUCARE M 30/70 provides comprehensive coverage for both mealtime and basal insulin needs. This helps to simplify insulin therapy and can improve overall glycemic control for individuals with diabetes. It's crucial to use INSUCARE M 30/70 as prescribed by your doctor, carefully monitoring your blood sugar levels and adjusting your dosage as needed. Consistent monitoring, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, are essential for managing diabetes effectively and preventing complications.

Possible side effects of INSUCARE M 30/70 MG VIAL 10 ML may include: * **Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar):** This is the most common side effect. Symptoms can include sweating, shaking, dizziness, hunger, blurred vision, headache, rapid heartbeat, confusion, and loss of consciousness. Severe hypoglycemia can be life-threatening. * **Injection site reactions:** Redness, swelling, itching, or pain at the injection site are common. * **Lipodystrophy:** This refers to changes in fat tissue at the injection site, which can include either thickening (lipohypertrophy) or thinning (lipoatrophy) of the fat. * **Allergic reactions:** These can range from mild skin reactions (rash, itching, hives) to severe, life-threatening reactions (anaphylaxis). Symptoms of anaphylaxis can include difficulty breathing, wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, and loss of consciousness. * **Weight gain:** Insulin can promote weight gain. * **Edema:** Swelling, particularly in the ankles and feet, can occur. * **Visual disturbances:** Temporary visual disturbances can occur at the start of insulin therapy. * **Peripheral neuropathy:** Nerve damage causing pain, numbness, and tingling, especially in the hands and feet. * **Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA):** Although rare with premixed insulin, it's possible, especially if insulin is not taken as prescribed or during illness. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fruity-smelling breath, and confusion.

• If you miss a dose of INSUCARE M 30/70, inject the dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not inject a double dose to make up for the missed one, as this can significantly increase your risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Contact your doctor if you are unsure or have concerns about a missed dose.

• Keep INSUCARE M 30/70IU VIAL 10ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store INSUCARE M 30/70IU VIAL 10ML in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

• **Understand Your Insulin Type:** INSUCARE M 30/70 is a premixed insulin, containing 30% rapid-acting insulin and 70% intermediate-acting insulin. This combination helps manage blood sugar levels after meals and between meals. Ensure you understand how each component works to optimize its effects.
• **Timing is Key:** Administer INSUCARE M 30/70 approximately 30 minutes before a meal. This timing allows the rapid-acting component to start working as you eat, managing the rise in blood sugar. Consistency in timing is crucial for stable blood sugar control. Varying the timing can lead to unexpected highs or lows.
• **Proper Injection Technique:** Use a new, sterile needle for each injection. Rotate injection sites (abdomen, thigh, upper arm) to prevent lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin). Inject insulin into the subcutaneous tissue (the layer of fat under the skin), not into muscle. Pinching the skin can help avoid injecting into muscle, especially in thinner individuals. Always follow your doctor’s or diabetes educator’s instructions.
• **Monitor Blood Sugar Regularly:** Consistent blood sugar monitoring is essential to understand how INSUCARE M 30/70 is working for you. Check your blood sugar levels before meals, two hours after meals, and at bedtime. Record your results and discuss them with your healthcare provider to adjust your insulin dosage as needed. Regular monitoring helps prevent hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
• **Be Aware of Hypoglycemia:** Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a potential side effect of insulin. Symptoms can include shakiness, sweating, confusion, and dizziness. Always carry a source of fast-acting sugar, such as glucose tablets or juice, to treat low blood sugar immediately. Inform family and friends about the signs of hypoglycemia and how to assist you if you become unable to treat it yourself. Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet or carrying identification indicating you have diabetes and use insulin.

• INSUCARE M 30/70MG VIAL 10 ML should be taken 15 minutes before meals, ensuring consistent timing with each dose.
• Avoid skipping meals while using INSUCARE M 30/70MG VIAL 10 ML to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
• Be cautious about consuming alcohol while using INSUCARE M 30/70MG VIAL 10 ML, as it can affect blood sugar levels. Moderate alcohol consumption is acceptable but consult your doctor.
• Inform your doctor about your dietary habits, including any changes in your meal patterns or food preferences, as this can impact your insulin dosage requirements.
• Pay attention to carbohydrate intake, and aim for consistency in the amount of carbohydrates consumed with each meal, unless advised otherwise by your doctor or diabetes educator.
