How it Works
Insulin degludec and insulin aspart. Insulin degludec has a prolonged duration of action while insulin aspart has a fast onset of action. Together, they ensure rapid and consistent sugar control by facilitating reuptake of sugar in muscle and fat cells, and suppressing the production of sugar in the liver.
