View full FDA label ↗Insulin Diluting Medium for Kirsty is a rapid-acting insulin used to help manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. It works by allowing your body to use sugar from food more effectively and reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. The medication is typically injected under the skin about 5 to 10 minutes before meals, and the starting dose can vary based on individual needs, but it should not exceed the maximum dose determined by your healthcare provider. It's important to avoid using this medication during low blood sugar episodes, as it can worsen the condition. Additionally, if you're taking certain medications, like other insulins, you may need to adjust your dose, so be sure to discuss this with your doctor.
