What Experts Say

Regular human insulin replaces the insulin the body cannot make or use properly, allowing sugar to move from blood into cells for energy.

It is usually injected under the skin 30 minutes before a meal, since it starts working faster than long acting insulins but does not last as long.

The biggest danger with any insulin is low blood sugar, which can happen if a dose is too high or a meal is skipped. Insulin must stay refrigerated and never be allowed to freeze.
