Info

Why have I been given this booklet You have been prescribed Humulin M3 (your insulin), to help you manage your diabetes. The aim of this booklet is to allow you to learn more about your insulin and help you make the right decisions about adjusting your insulin, and taking control of your diabetes. It is intended to be used in addition to the Patient Information Leaflet provided with your medicine.
What is Humulin M3 & how does it work Humulin M3 is made from a combination of two types of insulin: • 30% Soluble Insulin (short acting) • 70% Isophane Insulin (intermediate acting) Putting together a short acting insulin and an intermediate acting insulin produces a quick rise in insulin activity after injection, which gradually subsides over time. This is how the Humulin M3 works over a 24 hour period. 24 hour action profile Breakfast Injection Lunch Evening Injection approx 30 min before breakfast approx 30 mins before meal Theoretical representation of Humulin M3 insulin activity profile twice per day Expected insulin production during the day in people without diabetes Time of injection - approx 30 minutes before meal
