Humulin-N is used to regulate blood sugar levels in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Synthetic insulin mimics the action of natural insulin in the human body (a hormone secreted by the pancreas), and is a short-acting type of insulin.
Humulin-N helps regulate the flow of glucose into cells and its use as a source of energy. This medicine is usually used with medium- or long-acting insulin, and it can also be used alone or with oral diabetes medications.
