Mixture Insulin for a Simple Start to Insulin
Mixture insulin acts like the body's own insulin
With mixture insulin, you can manage your diabetes even with an unpredictable schedule. The rapid-acting insulin in Humalog Mix75/25 and Humalog Mix50/50 starts lowering blood sugar more quickly than regular human insulin, allowing for convenient dosing immediately before a meal (within 15 minutes). The longer-acting insulin in Humalog Mix75/25 and Humalog Mix50/50 then helps keep your blood sugar stable between meals. How long the insulin works in your body may vary in different individuals or at different times in the same individual, based on dose, injection site, blood supply, and physical activity.
