Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does HumaLOG Work?

Insulin lispro works by binding to insulin receptors on muscle and fat cells, facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into these cells. It promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen in the liver, thus lowering blood glucose levels. HumaLOG's rapid onset of action (typically within 15 minutes) makes it effective for controlling postprandial (after meal) blood sugar spikes.

Common Dosages

  • Subcutaneous injection: Typically, 0.5 to 1.0 units/kg/day divided into multiple doses before meals.
  • Adjustment: Doses may need to be adjusted based on blood glucose monitoring results and dietary intake.

Typical Dosing

  • For blood glucose management: Administer HumaLOG 15 minutes before a meal. Dosing should be individualized based on the patient’s blood glucose monitoring and dietary intake.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Management of diabetes mellitus in adults and children. It is used for the control of high blood sugar in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Who Shouldn't Take HumaLOG?

  • Known hypersensitivity to insulin lispro or any components of the formulation.
  • Severe hypoglycemia: Individuals should not use HumaLOG if they are experiencing severe low blood sugar.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Use as prescribed: Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing, timing, and blood glucose monitoring.
  • Monitor blood sugar: Regularly check your blood glucose levels to ensure they are within the target range, and adjust insulin doses accordingly.
  • Store HumaLOG properly: Store unopened vials or pens in the refrigerator. Once opened, it can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days. Avoid freezing.
  • Inject with proper technique: Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy and ensure consistent absorption.

Risks and Warnings of HumaLOG
