Usage Information
Insulin aspart is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes.

Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Insulin aspart is a man-made product that is similar to human insulin. It replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. Insulin aspart starts working faster and lasts for a shorter time than regular insulin.
