Analog insulin
Many studies have shown that the body will not be able to hold the damage of beta cells so the pancreas functions to produce insulin decline. Therefore, diabetes patient will eventually fail with anti diabetic therapy so in the end patients with diabetes will need insulin therapy.
Based from the fact, pharmaceutical technology starts to create the latest insulin treatment innovations. The use of insulin was started since 1922, which originated from animal insulin. Around the 1980s began in the use of human insulin, and in early 1990 expert found an insulin analogue as the latest generation of insulin with a working profile like natural insulin.
There are 3 types of insulin analogue which is divided by duration of action :
1. Insulin analog that work very fast (NovoRapid) – injected before the main meal and useful to lowering the blood sugar after a meal level (prandial glucose).
2. Mixed / premixed Insulin analog (NovoMix) – injected once a day before bedtime and serves to reduce fasting blood sugar (fasting glucose)
3. Long working analog insulin (Levemir). – injected 1-3 times a day just before the main meal, as needed and useful to lowering fasting blood sugar level and blood sugar level after meal
