WOSOLIN 30/70 CARTIAGE 3'S 3'S

About

WOSOLIN 30/70 is a biphasic insulin preparation containing 30% soluble insulin (rapid-acting) and 70% isophane insulin (intermediate-acting). This combination is designed to provide both a quick onset of action to control post-meal glucose spikes and a prolonged effect to manage blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. Insulin is a naturally occurring hormone produced by the pancreas, essential for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. In individuals with diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces (Type 2 diabetes), leading to elevated blood glucose levels.

This medication works by mimicking the body's natural insulin production, facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells for energy or storage. It helps to lower high blood sugar, thereby preventing long-term complications associated with uncontrolled diabetes, such as kidney damage, nerve problems, blindness, and limb loss. The specific 30/70 ratio offers a balanced approach to glycemic control, making it a cornerstone in the management of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes when oral medications are insufficient or contraindicated.
