Brand Name: Ultralente, Humulin U
Generic Name: Insulin Zinc Suspension
Drug Class: Antidiabetic Agent, Insulin
****************************************************
Ultralente, What is this drug for? Drugs.com:"Insulin (IN-su-lin) is one of many hormones that helps the body turn the food we eat into energy. Also, insulin helps us store energy that we can use later. After we eat, insulin works by causing sugar (glucose) to go from the blood into our body's cells to make fat, sugar, and protein. When we need more energy between meals, insulin will help us use the fat, sugar, and protein that we have stored. This occurs whether we make our own insulin in the pancreas gland or take it by injection."Hampstead Trust

Insulin, Pregnancy Considerations, Mayoclinic.com:"The amount of insulin you need changes during and after pregnancy. It is especially important for your health and your baby's health that your blood sugar be closely controlled.
