What is Humulin R?

Humulin R is a man-made insulin used to control high blood glucose in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is an insulin you inject into your body under your skin (subcutaneous injection) using either a self-injecting Humulin R KwikPen or a syringe. This increases how much insulin you have in your bloodstream, helping your cells absorb more glucose and lowering your blood glucose levels.

Humulin R is a short-acting insulin that is often used after meals. Your prescribing doctor will tell you when to inject Humulin R, how often, and what dose to inject. You may be prescribed Humulin R alone or alongside other diabetes medications and treatments.

Humulin R active ingredients

The active ingredient in Humulin R is called regular insulin. It is a synthetic (man-made) version of the insulin your body naturally makes.

Regular insulin works in the same way as the insulin your pancreas makes. It is a short-acting insulin that starts to work in around 30 minutes. It reaches its peak in 2 to 3 hours and lasts for up to 8 hours. Humulin R is usually injected after a meal to help your body absorb the glucose released from the food you digest.

Humulin R side effects

The most common side effects caused by Humulin R include:

• Reactions at the site of injection – itching, rashes, skin thickening, or pits forming in your skin (lipodystrophy)
• Allergic reactions
• Swelling (edema) of the feet and hands
• Weight gain
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Humulin R can cause more serious side effects. These are rarer, but may include:

• Severe allergic reactions to the medication which can cause anaphylaxis
• Your blood sugar falling to dangerous levels (hypoglycemia)
• Low potassium levels in your blood (hypokalemia) – constipation, leg cramps, irregular heartbeats, increase in thirst or urination, muscle weakness
• Heart failure, if you take it alongside another type of diabetes medication, called TZDs (thiazolidinediones)

Your doctor will assess the benefits of taking Humulin R against your risk of side effects.
