Quick tips
- Take Humalog Mix 50 100IU/ml Cartridge 15 minutes before a meal.
- Injection below the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption compared to other injection sites such as the skin of the upper arms, thighs, or buttocks. After injection, the site of injection should not be massaged.
- Injection sites must be rotated to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site.
- Changing to another type or brand of insulin should be done under strict medical supervision, as it may require a change in dosage.
- Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or by delaying/skipping a meal. Carry a sugar source with you for immediate relief.
- Do not share your insulin device with other people, even if the needle has been changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them.

FAQs
How do I inject the dose of my insulin?
Wash your hands before injecting. Choose a site for injection. Clean the skin as instructed. Remove the outer needle cap. Stabilize the skin by spreading it or pinching up a large area. Insert the needle as instructed. Press the knob. Pull the needle out and apply gentle pressure over the injection site for several seconds. Do not rub the area. Using the outer needle cap, unscrew the needle and dispose of it safely. Use of injection sites should be rotated so that the same site is not used more than approximately once a month.
What should I do if the dose knob of the pen is hard to push?
Pushing the dose knob of the pen more slowly will make it easier to inject. Your needle may be blocked. Attach a new needle and get the pen ready by releasing a small amount of insulin.
What should I do if I am experiencing any side effects?
If you are experiencing any side effects, please contact your doctor.
Which drugs can increase the insulin requirement of a patient?
Insulin requirements may be increased by medications with hyperglycemic activity (medicines that increase glucose levels) such as corticosteroids, isoniazid, certain lipid-lowering drugs (e.g., niacin), estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, and thyroid replacement therapy.
Which drugs can decrease the insulin requirement of a patient?
Insulin requirements may be decreased in the presence of drugs that increase insulin sensitivity or have hypoglycemic (glucose-lowering) activity, such as oral antidiabetic agents, salicylates, sulfa antibiotics, certain antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors), angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blocking agents, beta-adrenergic blockers, inhibitors of pancreatic function (e.g., octreotide), and alcohol. Beta-adrenergic blockers may mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia in some patients.
