What is a rapid-acting insulin analog?
A rapid-acting insulin analog is a slightly changed form human insulin. This change allows the insulin to be absorbed and work faster. As a result, it starts working within minutes. This means that you can take your insulin and eat right away. Rapid-acting insulin analogs work like insulin that is released after meals in people who do not have diabetes, which is a significant goal of insulin therapy.
