What Is NovoRapid – NovoLog FlexTouch?
NovoRapid (also known as NovoLog) is a fast-acting insulin used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. It is commonly prescribed to people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to help control blood glucose spikes after meals. The FlexTouch Pen is a prefilled, disposable insulin pen designed for easy and precise dosing, making it a convenient option for individuals who require insulin therapy.
How Does NovoRapid – NovoLog FlexTouch Work?
NovoRapid – NovoLog is a rapid-acting insulin analog, meaning it starts working quickly after injection. Once administered, it begins to lower blood sugar levels within 10 to 20 minutes, reaching peak effectiveness in 1 to 3 hours and lasting for up to 5 hours. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes. The FlexTouch Pen allows for effortless insulin delivery with its user-friendly push-button mechanism, making it easier for individuals with arthritis or dexterity issues.
