Get a hold of the chance for fewer daily injections.*
Study conducted with U-100 insulin syringes and Humulin R U-500 vials.
Proven to lower A1C with the potential for fewer daily injections.*

*Compared to U-100 insulin. Most patients will require 2 or 3 daily injections of U-500.1
†The purpose of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of 2 dosing treatments (2 or 3 injections per day) of U-500 in adults with type 2 diabetes who were uncontrolled with high doses of standard U-100 insulin. The results between the 2 treatments were similar.
