Lyumjev 100IU Cartridge 3 ml

Lyumjev 100IU Cartridge 3 ml is used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects how the body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar levels. On the other hand, in Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (a hormone that helps lower blood sugar levels), or there is resistance to insulin action.

Lyumjev 100IU Cartridge 3 ml works similarly to the insulin produced by the body. Lyumjev 100IU Cartridge 3 ml stops the liver from producing more sugar and also helps move the sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it can be used for energy. Thereby, Lyumjev 100IU Cartridge 3 ml helps control blood sugar levels.

Diabetes is a condition in which blood glucose levels are above normal. It is of two types: type-1 and type-2 diabetes. Type-1 diabetes is a condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Type-2 diabetes affects the way body processes the sugar. Symptoms of diabetes include lack of energy, tiredness, frequent urination, excess thirst, dry mouth, blurry vision, constant hunger, weight loss, and itchy skin.
