Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
Insulin degludec is a basal insulin that forms soluble multi-hexamers upon subcutaneous injection, which are slowly and continuously absorbed into the bloodstream leading to a flat and stable glucose-lowering-effect.
Degradation of insulin degludec is similar to that of human insulin; all metabolites formed are inactive.
