Insulin glulisine is a hormone that is produced in the body. It works by lowering levels of
glucose (sugar) in the blood. Insulin glulisine is a faster-acting form of insulin than regular human insulin.
Insulin glulisine is used to treat diabetes in adults and children who are at least 4 years old. It is
usually given together with a long-acting insulin.
Insulin glulisine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
