What is insulin regular hum u-500 conc?

Humulin R U-500 'Concentrated' Insulin 500 unit/mL Injection
Drug Name: CONC. INSULIN REG.HUMAN - INJ.
Other Brand Names: Humulin R
Uses: This man-made insulin product is the same as human insulin. It is used along with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This product is the concentrated form of regular insulin. It is used in people who require large doses of insulin (more than 200 units per day). It works right away like regular insulin but its effects last longer. In some people with diabetes, insulin may be used alone or with oral diabetes drugs (such as metformin). People with diabetes do not make enough insulin for their bodies to properly use the sugar in food. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and using your insulin as directed can help you live an active and healthy life.
