Novolin ge NPH PenFill is used with your reusable insulin pen for the control of high sugar levels in the treatment of diabetes. It is an intermediate-acting insulin, administered subcutaneously (under the skin), and is commonly used together with a fast-acting mealtime insulin to protect you against the blood sugar spikes that occur during and after eating.
These cartridges work with your reusable insulin pen to deliver Novolin ge NPH insulin, which works similarly to the way naturally occurring human insulin does. The main difference between this insulin and natural insulin is that it has a longer duration of action. Insulin is a hormone normally produced by your pancreas, which is a large organ near your stomach. It is chiefly responsible for food metabolism, helping your body use and store the sugar that your body creates by processing food. If you have diabetes, either your pancreas does not make sufficient insulin or your body can not use the insulin that it does make properly. Because sugar can not be properly stored or used up, it builds up in your bloodstream causing high blood sugar levels.
Your doctor will have established a dose and dosing schedule that is individualized for you specifically based on your personal metabolic needs, blood sugar level monitoring, type of diabetes, and your history of treatment and use of insulin.
