Rapid-acting insulin starts to work after about 10 to 20 minutes and lasts for up to 5 hours. You'll usually take it around 15 minutes before a meal but it can be taken up to 10 minutes after a meal. Insulin pens are very easy to use. They are great for young diabetics who need to deliver insulin at school. Furthermore, many diabetics find insulin pens almost painless. They are also portable and discreet, as well as not being as time-consuming as syringes. An accurate dose can be pre-set on the dosage dial, which can be useful for diabetes sufferers who also have impaired vision. Why might I not like insulin pens? There are numerous different brands and models of insulin pens available in the UK market. As a diabetic working with your healthcare team to establish what insulin pen to choose, the following factors are worth considering.

Some people take biphasic insulin along with other diabetes medicines to manage their blood glucose levels.

It's a good idea to carry medical identification such as an insulin safety card or insulin passport – a small card with up-to-date details of the type of insulin you use, and what to do in an emergency. Unless you use an insulin pump, you'll usually take short-acting insulin along with another type of insulin, called intermediate-acting insulin or long-acting insulin. Biphasic insulin starts to work within 30 minutes and lasts for up to 24 hours. You'll usually take it twice a day, before breakfast and your evening meal.

Everyone with type 1 diabetes, and some people with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes, needs to take insulin to help manage their blood glucose levels. This reduces the chances of getting the symptoms of high blood glucose ( hyperglycaemia) and serious long-term problems that can damage the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and feet. Long-acting insulin starts to work after 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the type. It usually lasts for 16 to 24 hours, depending on the type and your dose. You'll usually take it once or twice a day. They come in different brands and are used with different types of insulin pen, but they all work in a similar way.
