Welcome to the Humalog® Family of Insulins
Humalog mealtime insulins are used to treat people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.
About Humalog
Need better control of your blood sugar? Adding Humalog to your basal insulin can help.
You may have been taking a long-acting insulin for a while now. So why did your doctor prescribe another insulin? Well, it's to help control the blood sugar "spikes" that happen naturally when you eat. Everyone gets them, but when you have diabetes you may need extra help controlling them. That's where Humalog comes in.
- Humalog mealtime insulins are used to treat people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.
- Humalog is a rapid-acting insulin that starts working faster and works for a shorter period of time than regular (short-acting) insulin.
- Taking Humalog within 15 minutes before or immediately after meals helps manage blood sugar after meals.
- It’s important to talk to your healthcare provider about when and how often you should check your blood sugar levels.
SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not take Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 if you have:
- symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- an allergy to insulin lispro products or any of their ingredients.

About mealtime insulin
Mealtime insulins that contain Humalog are rapid-acting insulins that are taken right before or after meals.
Type 2 diabetes may progress over time. This does not mean that you failed. All your hard work still counts, but it means sometimes you have to change how you care for it. That's why your healthcare provider has prescribed Humalog to help lower your blood sugar.
Managing blood sugar
When using mealtime insulin like Humalog, you must test your blood sugar (glucose). For example, you may need to test before and after meals and at bedtime. Your doctor will tell you when and how often you should test.

Getting started on Humalog
Everyone's experience with mealtime insulin is different. For people with diabetes starting Humalog, here are some things to expect:
Insulin dose changes
Your Humalog dose will probably change over time. Your doctor gave you a starting dose, but most people need to increase their Humalog dose after the first day.
Blood sugar variations
When you track your blood sugar every day, you will probably see different numbers all the time. These variations in your blood sugar from day to day are normal.
Changes are normal
Your blood sugar varies based on stress, what you eat, other medications, exercise, and other factors. Don't beat yourself up when you see changes in your blood sugar. With your doctor's input, these variations may provide learning opportunities.
SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not change the type of insulin you take or your dose, unless your doctor tells you to. This could cause low or high blood sugar, which could be serious. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pit or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.
Here are a few things to remember when you get started:
- Humalog is a rapid-acting insulin that's taken within 15 minutes before you eat or right after eating a meal.
- Low blood sugar is a possible serious side effect of Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 that can lead to death.
- Low blood sugar can cause dizziness or light-headedness, sweating, confusion, headache, blurred vision, slurred speech, shakiness, fast heartbeat, anxiety, irritability, mood change, and hunger.
- If you are at risk of having severely low blood sugar, your doctor may prescribe a glucagon emergency kit. These are used when your blood sugar becomes too low and you are unable to take sugar by mouth. Glucagon helps your body release sugar into your bloodstream.
- Make sure you understand how many units of Humalog your doctor wants you to take and with what meals.
Where to inject Humalog
There are many areas on your body where you can inject your insulin. It's important to change injection sites and not overuse any site.
You can inject your dose of Humalog under the skin of your stomach area, back of upper arm, upper leg, or buttocks (see diagram). Never inject Humalog into a muscle or vein. Work with your doctor to determine what the most appropriate injection sites are for you.
SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not use a syringe to remove Humalog from your prefilled pen. This can cause you to take too much insulin. Taking too much insulin can lead to severe low blood sugar. This may result in seizures or death.
Storage and disposal
Unopened Humalog should be stored in a refrigerator at 36° to 46°F (2° to 8°C) and can be used until the expiration date on the carton or label.
Opened prefilled pens should be kept at room temperature, below 86°F (30°C). Opened vials should be kept at room temperature or in a refrigerator.
Do not freeze and do not use Humalog if it has been frozen.
Humalog should be stored away from light and heat.
Opened Humalog vials, prefilled pens, and cartridges must be thrown away 28 days after first use, even if they still contain insulin.
Opened Humalog Mix50/50 and Humalog Mix75/25 prefilled pens must be thrown away 10 days after first use, even if they still contain insulin.
Safely dispose of needles and pens as directed in the KwikPen Instructions for Use.

INDICATIONS
Humalog® (HU-ma-log) and Insulin Lispro Injection are fast-acting insulins used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes.
- Humalog comes in two strengths: U-100 (100 units per milliliter) and U-200 (200 units per milliliter). The Humalog U-200 prefilled pen contains 2 times as much insulin per 1 milliliter as standard (U-100) insulin. The dose window on the pen shows your insulin dose.
- It is not known if Humalog or Insulin Lispro Injection are safe and effective for children with type 2 diabetes or for children younger than 3 years of age with type 1 diabetes. There were no studies done with these insulins in these groups of children. If your doctor decides to give your child one of these insulins, he or she may give you special instructions.
Humalog® Mix50/50™, Humalog®Mix75/25™, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are mixed U-100 insulins. This means they contain a mix of fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulins. They are used to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes.
- It is not known if Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are safe and effective for children younger than 18 years of age. There were no studies done with these insulins in children younger than 18. If your doctor decides to give your child one of these insulins, he or she may give you special instructions.
Insulin Lispro products are Humalog. Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 contain insulin lispro protamine mixed with insulin lispro.
SAFETY SUMMARY
Warnings -
Do not take Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 if you have:
- symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
- an allergy to insulin lispro products or any of their ingredients.
Do not reuse needles or share your insulin injection supplies with other people. This includes your:
- prefilled pen for use by a single patient
- cartridges
- reusable pen that works with Lilly 3 mL cartridges
- needles
- syringes
You or the other person can get a serious infection. This can happen even if you change the needle.
Do not change the type of insulin you take or your dose, unless your doctor tells you to. This could cause low or high blood sugar, which could be serious.
Do not use a syringe to remove Humalog from your prefilled pen. This can cause you to take too much insulin. Taking too much insulin can lead to severe low blood sugar. This may result in seizures or death.
Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 may cause serious side effects. Some of these can lead to death. The possible serious side effects are:
- Low blood sugar. This can cause:
- dizziness or light-headedness
- headache
- shakiness
- irritability
- sweating
- blurred vision
- fast heartbeat
- mood change
- confusion
- slurred speech
- anxiety
- hunger
If you are at risk of having severely low blood sugar, your doctor may prescribe a glucagon rescue medication. These are used when your blood sugar becomes too low and you are unable to take sugar by mouth. Glucagon helps your body release sugar into your bloodstream.
- Severe allergic reaction.
Get emergency help right away if you have:- a rash over your whole body
- sweating
- extreme drowsiness
- swelling of your face, tongue, or throat
- trouble breathing
- a faint feeling
- dizziness
- a fast heartbeat
- shortness of breath
- confusion
- Low potassium in your blood. This can lead to severe breathing problems, irregular heartbeat, and death.
- Heart failure. Taking diabetes pills called thiazolidinediones (thIE-uh-zOH-li-dEEn-dIE-OHns), or "TZDs," with insulin lispro products may cause heart failure in some people. This includes people who do not have any heart problems. If you have heart failure, it may get worse if you take TZDs with these insulin lispro products. Tell your doctor if you have any new symptoms of heart failure, or if they get worse. Some symptoms of heart failure include: shortness of breath, swelling of ankles and feet, and sudden weight gain. Your doctor may need to change or stop treatment with TZDs and your insulin lispro product.
- High blood sugar and ketoacidosis. You can have these serious problems when your insulin pump or infusion set stops working. They can also happen if your insulin is no longer effective. For these reasons, always keep extra insulin injection supplies with you.
Common side effects
The most common side effects of Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, and Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 are:
- low blood sugar
- reactions where you have injected insulin
- swelling of your hands or feet
- itching
- allergic reactions
- changes in fat tissue where you have injected insulin
- weight gain
- rash
These are not all of the possible side effects. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects. You can report side effects at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Before using
Talk with your doctor about low blood sugar and how to manage it. Also tell your doctor:
- about all of the medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
- about any other prescription medicines you take, especially ones called TZDs.
- about all of your medical conditions, including if you have heart failure or other heart, liver, or kidney problems.
- if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed.
How to take
Read the Instructions for Use that come with your Humalog, Insulin Lispro Injection, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25. Be sure to take your insulin lispro product and check your blood sugar levels exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to change your dose because of illness, increased stress, or changes in your weight, diet, or physical activity level. He or she may also tell you to change the amount or time of your dose because of other medicines or different types of insulin you take.
Before injecting your insulin lispro product
You can inject your insulin dose yourself, or you can have a trained caregiver inject it for you. Make sure you or your caregiver:
- Check the insulin label before each injection. This will help you make sure that you are taking the correct insulin.
- Use a new needle for each injection. You can get a serious infection or the wrong dose of insulin if you re-use needles.
- Change (rotate) where you inject your insulin with each dose. This can reduce your chance of getting pits, lumps, or thickened skin where you inject your insulin. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pits or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.
When you are ready to inject
- If you are taking Humalog or Insulin Lispro Injection, inject it under your skin within 15 minutes before or right after you eat a meal.
- If you are taking Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25, inject it under your skin within 15 minutes before you eat a meal.
Staying safe while taking your insulin lispro product
To stay safe while taking your insulin, be sure to never inject Humalog U-200, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 in your vein, muscle, or with an insulin pump. Also be sure not to:
- mix Humalog U-200, Humalog Mix50/50, Humalog Mix75/25, or Insulin Lispro Protamine and Insulin Lispro Injectable Suspension Mix75/25 with other insulins or liquids.
- drive or use heavy machinery until you know how your insulin lispro product affects you.
- drink alcohol or use other medicines that contain alcohol when taking your insulin lispro product.
