Doctor Review

Dr. Bilal Ahmed, MBBS, Diabetologist
“As a diabetologist, I often recommend Actrapid HM (100IU) for managing blood sugar levels in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This insulin provides effective control over high blood sugar and is a key part of diabetes management. However, it’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and monitor your blood glucose levels regularly. Side effects like dizziness or blurred vision can occur, but these are usually manageable. I emphasize the importance of staying hydrated, maintaining a balanced diet, and having regular check-ups to adjust the dosage as needed for optimal results.”
