It is used to treat both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A recent Cochrane systematic review also compared the effects of<unk>  to NPH insulin and other insulin analogues (insulin glargine, insulin degludec) in both children and adults with Type 1 diabetes. With respect to blood sugar management, it appears to work better than NPH insulin, however this finding was inconsistent across included and previous studies. In the same systematic review no other clinically significant differences were found between different insulin analogues in either adults nor children.
