Humalog Solution for Injection is a prescription rapid-acting insulin from Eli Lilly and Company used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Each ml contains Insulin Lispro 100 IU (r-DNA origin), supplied in a 3 ml cartridge designed for use with Lilly insulin delivery devices. Because it starts working within about 15 minutes of injection, Humalog is taken close to mealtimes to control the rise in blood sugar that follows eating. It is usually used together with a longer-acting insulin or other diabetes medicines as part of a complete treatment plan, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.

How It Works

Insulin Lispro is a modified form of human insulin that is absorbed from under the skin faster than regular insulin. Once in the bloodstream, it helps muscle, fat and liver cells take up glucose from the blood and use it for energy. It also stops the liver from releasing stored sugar. This rapid, short-lasting action closely matches the body’s natural insulin response to a meal, keeping post-meal blood sugar levels in check and lowering the long-term risk of diabetes complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, nerves and heart.
