Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In diabetes mellitus type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels (glucose). On the other hand, in diabetes mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps decrease sugar levels in the blood) or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, leading to high blood glucose levels.

Eglucent Mix 25 100IU/ml Injection 5 x 3 ml contains Insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine. Insulin lispro is fast-acting insulin, whereas Insulin lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus: In type 1 diabetes mellitus, the body does not make insulin (the hormone that helps decrease sugar levels in the blood) to control blood sugar levels.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: In type 2 diabetes mellitus, either the body stops producing enough insulin or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in sufficient amounts but cannot act on the tissues of the organs.
