Insulin? Inslin is a common misspelling of insulin.
Insulin is available in several different types of medications and is used to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. For instance, some people may have to take two different types of the medication, one that will provide a basal insulin level throughout the day and another one to control blood sugar levels after meals. The dosage of insulin your healthcare provider recommends will vary, depending on several factors, such as the carbohydrate content of your meals, your blood sugar goals, your blood sugar levels, and other medications you are taking.
