Usage
Insulin aspart can be used in CSII pumps and Flexpen, Novopen delivery devices for subcutaneous injection. Additionally, it can be used with an injection port such as the I-port.
Novolog® is used for the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus to control hyperglycemia. Novolog® has a more rapid onset, and a shorter duration of activity than normal human insulin. Therefore, Novolog® given by injection should normally be used in a regimen with long-acting or intermediate insulin. Novolog® can also be used with external insulin pumps. The insulin should be changed in the reservoir of the insulin pump at least every 6 days, and the infusion sets should be changed at least every 3 days. The following insulin pumps have been used in Novolog® clinical or in vitro studies conducted by Novo Nordisk: Medtronic Paradigm® 512 and 712, Minimed 508, Disetronic® D-TRON® and H-TRON®.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“Pythagoras, Locke, Socrates—but pages
Might be filled up, as vainly as before,
With the sad usage of all sorts of sages,
Who in his life-time, each was deemed a bore!
The loftiest minds outrun their tardy ages.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
