COMMON BRAND NAME(S): NovoLog. USES: Insulin aspart is a man-made product almost identical to human insulin that is used to treat diabetes mellitus. Like other insulin products, it works by helping sugar (glucose) get into cells. It starts working faster and lasts for a shorter time than regular insulin. Insulin aspart is usually used in combination with a medium-or long-acting insulin product injected under the skin to control high blood sugar.
That said, starchy vegetables are higher in calories than nonstarchy vegetables (like leafy greens, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, mushrooms, and celery), so itâs important to moderate your portions, especially if youâre trying to lose weight.
Starchy vegetables include several types of roots, bulbs and kernels. Corn, peas, parsnips, potatoes, pumpkin, squash, zucchini and yams are all examples of starchy vegetables.
