WOSULIN 30/70 100IU INJECTION 5ML

WOSULIN 30/70 100IU INJECTION 5ML used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It maintains blood sugar levels in both adults and children. Diabetes mellitus is a condition that affects the way your body processes glucose. In Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, the body does not make enough insulin to control blood sugar levels. In Diabetes Mellitus type 2, either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood), or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts but it is not able to act on the organs of the body.

WOSULIN 30/70 100IU INJECTION 5ML works by ensuring rapid and consistent sugar control. WOSULIN 30/70 100IU INJECTION 5ML is a fast-acting type of insulin which helps to decrease blood sugar levels after the intake of meals. It prevents the chances of developing serious complications of diabetes. It facilitates the reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells and thus, suppresses the production of sugar in the liver.

In type 1 diabetes mellitus our body does not make insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) to control blood sugar levels. 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 is unable to act on the tissues of the organs.
