I'm curious to know, which type of insulin is available without the need for a prescription? I've heard that some insulin products can be purchased over the counter, but I'm not sure which ones specifically. Could you please clarify which insulin does not require a doctor's order or prescription? I'm interested in understanding the options available for those who may not have access to regular medical consultations or prescriptions.

Insulin, a vital hormone for regulating blood sugar levels, has evolved significantly over time. One such evolution is the development of OTC insulin, also known as synthetic human insulin.

This type of insulin differs from the newer insulin analogs, which are designed to mimic the natural insulin produced by the body but with certain modifications.

OTC insulin can be broadly categorized into three main types: regular insulin, NPH insulin, and a premixed combination of the two known as 70-30.

Regular insulin, also referred to as short-acting insulin, is administered to manage blood sugar levels quickly after meals or to correct high blood sugar levels.

NPH insulin, on the other hand, is intermediate-acting and provides a more gradual and prolonged release of insulin into the bloodstream.
