Insulin Glargine is a modified form of insulin that closely resembles human insulin. It is used to treat diabetes mellitus in individuals aged two years and above. Diabetes mellitus occurs when the body does not produce sufficient insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin Glargine provides a consistent and prolonged reduction in blood sugar levels. Unlike short-acting insulin, its effects are uniform, without a pronounced peak. Its action lasts up to 24 hours.
The treatment with Insulin Glargine helps prevent diabetes-related complications. It maintains steady blood sugar control throughout the day. Your doctor will determine your daily Insulin Glargine dosage based on factors like your glucose test results, insulin history, and lifestyle.
Commonly, you may notice injection site reactions like skin lumps, which can be managed by rotating injection sites. Hypoglycemia symptoms, such as sweating and a fast heartbeat, may arise but usually resolve without medical intervention. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
Avoid discontinuing Insulin Glargine without medical advice, as abrupt cessation can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Don't use it for low blood glucose, kidney, liver, or heart issues, or if you have alcohol or recreational drug concerns. Combining Insulin Glargine with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight is crucial. It requires refrigeration at 2-8 degrees Celsius and should not be frozen.
