Humalog Mix 25 is a medication prescribed for the management of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It functions in multiple ways to reduce blood sugar levels, including aiding specific tissues in the body to retain glucose in their cells, inhibiting the liver's glucose production, preventing the breakdown of fats and proteins, and assisting in regulating overall sugar production and metabolism in the body.

 

You should refrain from using Humalog Mix 25 if: you have a known allergy to Humalog or any of its inactive components, or if your blood sugar is exceptionally low. Moreover, sharing your insulin with others is not advisable.

 

Consult your doctor about Humalog Mix 25 if you are prone to low blood sugar, have low potassium levels, suffer from kidney or liver issues, have heart failure, or are taking thiazolidinediones (TZDs). While some insulin products can be combined, Humalog Mix 25 is not one of them.

 

Avoid mixing Humalog Mix 25 with any other insulin, even if you're using a pre-mixed form of Humalog.
