Ask Free Question
Mixtard is human insulin to treat diabetes. Mixtard is a mixture of fast-acting insulin and long-acting insulin. This means that it will start to lower your blood sugar about half an hour after you take it, and the effect will last for approximately 24 hours. Insulatard contains a type of insulin called isophane insulin. This is known as an intermediate-acting insulin. When injected under the skin it starts to work within 1 to 2 hours and its effects last for about 16 to 24 hours. It helps to give a background control of blood glucose throughout the day. Isophane insulin is normally used in combination with a short-acting insulin, which is given before meals to control the spikes in blood sugar levels that occur after eating.
