How it works
Insulin lispro is a recombinant DNA sourced human insulin analogue. HUMALOG consists of zinc-insulin lispro crystals dissolved in a clear fluid. HUMALOG is used to control high blood sugar (glucose) in people with diabetes. HUMALOG takes effect more rapidly and has a shorter duration of activity as compared to regular insulin.

Humalog Kwik Warnings
Warning 1
HUMALOG should not be used if it is not water-clear and colourless or if it has formed a deposit of solid particles on the wall of the cartridge.
Warning 2
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.
Warning 3
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 should be given within 15 minutes before a meal or when necessary shortly after a meal instead (within 20 minutes of the start of the meal). The short duration of action of HUMALOG means that if you have Type 1 diabetes you also need to use a longer-acting insulin to give the best glucose control (except when using an insulin infusion pump)
