Insulin Lispro

Uses

Insulin Lispro is used in the treatment of diabetes. It is recommended for patients with diabetes mellitus who require insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Additionally, it aids in the initial stabilization of diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

How Insulin Lispro works Insulin Lispro is a fast-acting insulin that begins to work within 10 to 20 minutes after injection. It functions similarly to the insulin produced by the body. Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose in muscle and fat cells and also inhibits the release of glucose from the liver.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Insulin Lispro include hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), weight gain, infusion site reactions, headache, pain, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), and auto-antibody formation.

Expert Advice

  • Take it 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) is a common side effect.
  • Monitor your blood sugar level regularly.
  • Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms, such as:
    • Cold sweats
    • Cool, pale skin
    • Tremors
    • Weakness
    • Anxiety
  • Rotate injection sites to prevent hard lumps from developing at one site.
  • Injection into the skin of the abdomen results in faster absorption than other injection sites.
  • Opened vials/cartridges remain effective at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
  • Unopened vials must be stored in the refrigerator (2°C–8°C).
  • Do not use the preparation if it is no longer clear and colorless or if it contains particles.
  • Insulin Lispro helps to control blood sugar levels and avoid long-term complications.
  • Continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medications along with Insulin Lispro.

Frequently asked questions

Insulin Lispro should be injected subcutaneously. Your doctor will advise on the injection sites, which include the abdomen, buttocks, upper legs, and upper arms. Avoid injecting into the same spot repeatedly and do not inject into muscles or veins. Rotate injection sites every week or two to minimize blood sugar fluctuations.
Unopened cartridges and unused pre-filled pens of Insulin Lispro should be refrigerated at 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze. Once a cartridge is in use, it should be kept at room temperature (below 30°C) and used within 28 days.
Before injecting, wash your hands and clean the injection site. Remove the pen cap, attach the needle, select the prescribed dose, and hold the pen at a 90-degree angle to the skin. Press the dose button and hold for 10 seconds to ensure complete injection. Afterward, remove and discard the needle, replace the pen cap, and store it properly.
Patients with type 1 diabetes will need to take Insulin Lispro for life due to insufficient insulin production. Type 2 diabetes patients may discontinue it if they manage their condition effectively through diet, exercise, and oral medications, as advised by their doctor.
Yes, Insulin Lispro is safe in pregnancy when prescribed by a doctor. Consult your healthcare provider if you become pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using it, as dosage adjustments and more frequent blood glucose monitoring may be necessary.
Yes, priming the pen is necessary to remove air from the needle and insulin. Dial 2 units, hold the pen vertically, and press the dose button until a drop appears at the needle tip. Repeat if necessary if using the pen for the first time.
The most common side effect of Insulin Lispro is hypoglycemia, which can cause symptoms such as nausea, headache, irritability, hunger, sweating, dizziness, rapid heart rate, and anxiety. Hypoglycemia is more likely if meals are missed, alcohol is consumed, excessive exercise occurs, or if other antidiabetic medications are taken. Regular blood sugar monitoring is essential, and it's advisable to carry sugary snacks or drinks.
No, Insulin Lispro should not be mixed with any other insulin preparations, nor should it be combined from vials with those in cartridges.
