How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Insulin Degludec). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
The primary activity of insulin, including Insulin Degludec, is regulation of glucose metabolism.
Insulin and its analogs lower blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake, especially by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production.
