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.

In contrast, starchy vegetables include peas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, broad beans, corn and butternut squash. There's no need to cut them from the diet. They do give us additional nutrients.
