Humalog 100IU Cartridges

Humalog is a medication used to treat both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It works in several ways to lower your blood sugar, including by helping certain tissues in the body to store glucose in their cells, preventing the liver from producing more glucose, blocking breakdown of fats and proteins and helping to control the overall production and breakdown of sugar in the body.

You shouldn’t take Humalog if: you’re allergic to Humalog or any of its inactive ingredients and/or your blood sugar is currently very low. Also, it’s never a good idea to share your insulin with another person.

Ask your doctor about Humalog if you suffer from low blood sugar, have low levels of potassium in your blood, have kidney or liver problems, have heart failure, if you are taking thiazolidinediones (TZDs). Some insulin products can be mixed together, but Humalog isn’t one of them.
