Faster-acting insulin aspart is an investigational mealtime insulin which contains a short-acting insulin with a vitamin and an amino acid excipient for faster initial absorption rate and earlier glucose lowering effect.
Novo Nordisk intends to develop the faster-acting insulin aspart in a pre-filled delivery device FlexTouch and a 10mL vial upon approval.
