Insulin lispro is a manufactured substitute for human insulin. This man made product replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. Insulin lispro works faster and lasts for a shorter time than regular insulin. By using Humalog you are helping your blood sugar (glucose) get into cells so your body can use it for energy. When you’re a diabetic the loss of energy is very important. This is what makes and breaks your day. This medication is usually used with a medium- or long-acting insulin product. Insulin lispro may also be used with other oral diabetes meds (such as sulfonylureas like glyburide or glipizide). Did you know that USA Script Helpers offers Humalog at competitive pricing?
