Humalog Insulin

Humalog contains insulin lispro, a rapid-acting form of insulin used to help control blood glucose in people with diabetes. Insulin lispro works by helping glucose move from the bloodstream into cells, where it can be used for energy.

Because it acts relatively quickly, insulin lispro is commonly incorporated into mealtime insulin regimens. It may be used in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes when insulin therapy is medically indicated.

Safety Information

The most important risk associated with insulin therapy is hypoglycemia, which can cause sweating, shaking, hunger, dizziness, confusion, weakness, or loss of consciousness when severe.

Other possible effects include injection-site reactions and changes in fatty tissue at injection sites. Regular blood glucose monitoring is important during treatment.
