How it works

Insulin lispro is a recombinant DNA sourced human insulin analogue. HUMALOG MIX is a mixture of fast-acting (insulin lispro) and long-acting (insulin lispro protamine) manmade insulins. HUMALOG MIX is used to control high blood sugar (glucose) in people with diabetes. HUMALOG MIX takes effect more rapidly and has a shorter duration of activity as compared to regular insulin.

Humalog Mix Warnings

Warning 1

This human insulin analogue differs from other insulins because it has a unique structure, a very quick onset of action and a short duration of activity. HUMALOG MIX should be given within 15 minutes before a meal.

Warning 2

HUMALOG MIX is a white suspension and should be administered by subcutaneous injection only. HUMALOG MIX must not be administered intravenously.

Warning 3

Any change of insulin regimen should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Changes in purity, strength, brand (manufacturer), type (regular, NPH, etc), species (beef, pork, beef-pork, human), and/or method of manufacture (recombinant DNA versus animal-source insulin) may result in the need for a change in dosage.
