What is Lente Insulin injection?
LENTE INSULIN (Humulin® L, Novolin® L) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the amount of sugar in your blood. Keeping your blood sugar close to normal prevents or reduces long-term complications of diabetes including damage to the blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, or nerves. Lente insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin that starts working about 1.5 hours after it is injected. The effect is maximal between 4 and 8 hours and ends as long as 24 hours after injection. The time-course of action of insulin may vary in different people and at different times in the same person. The time-course of action of insulin may also vary depending on the place where the insulin is injected, your body temperature, and your physical activity. Lente insulin is available without a prescription. A prescription to obtain insulin syringes may or may not be required in the state where you live. There are different types of insulin available. E
