Q: how much does the humalog unrefrigerated pen cost in the united states?
I just learned that there is an unrefrigerated insulin pen, Humalog. I was wondering if anybody has used this and what is the price, in the United States, at Walmart, if possible.
A: 100
Q: What is the difference between Humalog and Humalog 75/25?
I know that Humalog 75/25 is a mix. time delay or something, but what is the difference with just Humalog? can it be taken in the same way as the Mix? Does it need to be mixed with something in order to take?
A: Humalog 75/25 means that 75% of the mixture is long-acting insulin (same insulin except it has protamine added to make it act over an extended period of time), and 25% is short-acting.
Mixtures like this help keep tighter control of blood sugars because it sort of covers all bases - the quick coverage for your next meal (if you take it right before you eat) and the longer, steadier coverage to last all day.
Q: Where can I get cheaper Humalog insulin?
I have been a diabetic for over 12 years now and recently my doctor started me on Humalog insulin which has worked pretty good so far BUT, it is very expensive. I have insurance but even with my insurance I pay about $150.00 every three weeks for two viles. It adds up and I need this to live so I am wondering if anyone knows of any coupons or has any advice as to where I can get this insulin for a less expensive price. Thanks!
A: They might have it here, though I am not sure http://www.americandiabeteswholesale.com/
Its were i get my test strips.
Q: What happens to humalog insulin when it goes past its expiration date?
I assume it would just stop working, or are there other effects? Like instead of working right away it works on a delay?
A: Your right it just loses its effectiveness. Never use it because it can be harmful. I have had juvenile diabetes since i was 4 and once i accidentally gave expired insulin, i ended up in the hospital.
Just throw it away before it comes too close to expiration date and don't leave it in the sun either.
Q: What is the difference between Humulin and Humalog?
Are these two types of insulin very different?
A: Both of the above are incorrect. Here is a more comprehensive chart of insulin types:
RAPID ACTING: (3 times/day)
Humalog
Novolog
Apidra
SHORT ACTING:
Regular Insulin
Humulin R
Novolin R
MEDIUM ACTING: (2 times/day)
NPH Insulin
Humulin N or L
Novolin N or L
LONG ACTING: (once a day)
Lantus
Levemir
Along with these there are a variety of premixed insulin types available. These premixes include a rapid/short acting insulin along with a medium/long acting one.
NPH & Regular:
Novolin 70/30
Humuiln 70/30
Humulin 50/50
Lispro-Lispro Protamine:
Humalog Mix 75/25
Aspart-Aspart Protamine:
Novolog Mix 70/30
-----
Therefore, the differences between Humalog and Humulin are many. Humalog is a rapid acting insulin. Humulin can be either rapid or medium depending upon whether it is R or N. Humalog is dosed three times a day with meals. Humulin N is usually dosed twice a day or maybe once a day if newly diagnosed.
Overall, insulin dosing is very complex and can become quite complicated. It is important to follow the schedule that was set by the doctor.
Q: Are you a type 1 Diabetic using Humalog penfill? How do you find it?
I am currently taking Toronto regular insulin for the last 20yrs.My Dr. reccommended Humalog for better control and change.
A: I always just got mine at the pharmacy.
Q: Exactly what is a 3ml Pen for Humalog 75/25? How would I find out how many units is in each Pen?
I am looking for a way to find out how many uses is in 1 Humalog 75/25 Pen 3ml.
A: 100 units per every 1ml -millileter same as CC -cubic centimeter
so you have 300 units there of an insulin mix
Talk to your doctor about how many units per use and how many for correction of high blood sugar. Don't worry, it should get easier with time...
Q: How exactly does Humalog work?
I have been on Humilin 70/30 but my uncle passed away recently and my aunt gave me his insulin pens which are Humalog. What's the difference? I'm thinking it works right away, is this correct?
A: Do you use a Humulin or a Humilin?
Let me suppose you use humulin. Humulin 70/30 is made by eli-lilly, it is a mixed insulin with Humulin N 70%+Humulin R 30%.
The major different is an action.
Humalog is also made by eli-lilly but it is a rapid acting insulin. It has onset <02.5~0.5 hour, peak 0.5~2.5hour, effective duaraion 2~4hour.
R is a short acting insullin. It has onset <0.5~1h(hour), peak 2~3h, effective duration 3~6h.
N is a intermediate acting insulin. It has oneset 2~4h, peak 4~10h, effective duration 4~16h.
If you want to use humalog, you have to use it with humulin N or for an additional shot when you are hyperglycemia only.
If you need more help or if you want to change your prescription, ask your doctor.
Q: What's the difference between humalog insulin and humalog lispro insulin?

Q: What's the difference in Humulin R and Humalog?
I just started on Lantus two days ago..My doctor mentioned Humalog to me but for now I'm still taking Regular a couple of times a day. My sugars are way too high. The doctor just increased my Lantus again today. Thanks..
Thank you. Does Humalog work better for most people?
Thank you all.
A: I have not used Regular insulin since Humalog became available years ago (Lantus is great but this is a basal or long acting insulin). Regular is variable in onset and duration and typically too slow in onset for proper prandial (post meal) gluocse control. Humalog and Novalog are the 1st truly rapid acting insulins - both of which are available in pen systems that are much preferred by all - and the use of Regular is no longer appropriate.
Q: What is the difference between humalog 75/25 and 50/50?
I know it's a percentage difference of the two types of recombinant DNA insulin in them, but why is it more beneficial to have one combination or the other?
A: The difference as you know is that in 75/25 25% is rapid acting and 75 % intermediate acting insulin while in 50/50 both are equal.
So if you take 75/25 about half hour before food, check your blood sugar 2 hrs after food. If it is reasonably low that is around 120 - 140 it means the 25% of rapid acting insulin is enough for the food you have taken. But if you are taking a heavier meal and your sugar level 2 hours after food is above 150 - 160 then it means that the 25% of rapid acting insulin is not enough and you better take 50/50 next time you are having similar food.
This is a trial and error method for controlling your blood sugar. You have to keep monitoring your blood sugar at home with a glucometer 3 -4 times a day for accurately finding out the dose suitable for you. You need not do it everyday. Once or twice if you can do it and find the dose suitable for you and follow it with once or twice a week check of blood sugar after that.
Q: I started taking Humalog a couple months ago for my diabetes?
ever since then,every time after I eat I get very warm and start sweating,has anyone else had this happen to them?
A: Yeah, it still happens some times to me. I think its because Humalog is a fast acting insulin, that if your borderline (below 151) it may lower you blood sugar to fast.. too soon, therefore your body is acting like its too low, hypoglycemic. That's just a guess though
Q: lantus and humalog given in the same area?
i accidentally gave lantus where i normally do humalog? now what will happen?
A: did you give them at the same time in the same place?
or did you give lantus in a site that you normally give humalog, like you normally give humalog in your leg and lantus in your belly but for some reason today you gave lantus in your leg instead?
if it's the second one, no biggie.
if you gave them in the same area at the same time you'll need to monitor more frequently today because the absorption rates could be wacky.
