What is in this leaflet

NovoRapid Flexpen is a modern insulin (insulin analogue) with a rapid–acting effect. Modern insulin products are improved versions of human insulin.
NovoRapid is used to reduce the high blood sugar level in adults, adolescents and children aged 1 year and above with diabetes mellitus (diabetes). Diabetes is a disease where your body does not produce enough insulin to control the level of your blood sugar. Treatment with NovoRapid helps to prevent complications from your diabetes.
NovoRapid will start to lower your blood sugar 10–20 minutes after you inject it, a maximum effect occurs between 1 and 3 hours after the injection and the effect lasts for 3–5 hours. Due to this short action NovoRapid should normally be taken in combination with intermediate–acting or long–acting insulin preparations. Moreover NovoRapid can be used for continuous infusion in a pump system.
