Humalog (Insulin Lispro) Prescriptions Available Online Today

Insulin helps your cells use your blood sugar (glucose) for energy. Humalog is a synthetic insulin that aids diabetics with this process, which helps lower blood sugar levels.

A fast-acting insulin, Humalog is often taken in conjunction with a medium- or long-lasting insulin product. It may also be taken with oral diabetes medications like glyburide or glipizide.

Humalog is injected under the skin in the stomach, back of the upper arms, buttocks, or thighs. Be sure to clean the area first with rubbing alcohol. You should use Humalog either 15 minutes before eating or immediately after eating.

Always follow your doctor's directions about how much Humalog you should use. There are two different strengths of Humalog, and your dosage will vary based on a number of different factors. If you have questions about how much Humalog you should take, be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist, since using too much can cause a dangerous drop in your blood sugar and too little won't control high blood sugar.

Humalog lowers blood sugar. High blood sugar, if left untreated, can lead to problems like stroke, blindness, heart attack, kidney damage, nerve problems, sexual dysfunction, and loss of limbs. Managing your blood sugar levels with diet, exercise, and an insulin like Humalog can help reduce these risks.

When used properly, Humalog is generally safe, although side effects are possible. Side effects of Humalog may include:

• Injection site redness, pain, or irritation

• Low potassium

• Itching

• Low blood sugar

• High blood sugar

• Blurred vision

• Drowsiness

• Dizziness/li>

• Hollowing or thickening of the skin where you inject it

While Humalog does not directly interact with other medications, some medications can cause your blood sugar to rise or fall, and other medication may decrease or increase the effects of Humalog.

Always tell your doctor about every medication you take since it may impact how much Humalog you need.

Be sure to share your medical history with your doctor as it may impact how much Humalog you take or how your diabetes is treated. Especially be sure to mention if you deal with any of the following:

• Liver disease

• Kidney disease

• Thyroid problems

It's crucial to control your blood sugar levels while you're pregnant. The amount of Humalog you need to take may change throughout your pregnancy. Be sure to stay in touch with your doctor and closely follow their dosing instructions throughout your pregnancy.
