Humalog Mix 50 is a medication designed to manage both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It lowers blood sugar through multiple mechanisms, including aiding certain body tissues in glucose storage, inhibiting the liver's glucose production, preventing the breakdown of fats and proteins, and regulating the overall synthesis and decomposition of sugar in the body.

 

Do not use Humalog Mix 50 if you have an allergy to Humalog or any of its inactive components, or if your blood sugar is currently at a very low level. Additionally, sharing insulin with others is not advisable.

 

Consult your doctor about Humalog Mix 50 if you experience low blood sugar, have low potassium levels in your blood, suffer from kidney or liver conditions, have heart failure, or are taking thiazolidinediones (TZDs). While some insulin types can be mixed together, Humalog Mix 50 cannot.

 

Refrain from combining Humalog Mix 50 with any other insulin products, even if using a pre-mixed form of Humalog.

 

If you experience any of the following side effects and they are severe or persistent, inform your doctor: nasal or throat infections, increased susceptibility to flu-like symptoms, headaches, pain or irritation at the injection site, accumulation of fatty tissue at the injection site, itching, rash, joint pain, weight gain, or swelling in the feet, ankles, and lower legs.

 

Stop using this medication and contact your doctor if you experience any serious side effects, including low blood sugar, decreased potassium levels, or severe allergic reactions.

 

Make sure to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including prescription, over-the-counter, illegal, recreational, herbal, nutritional, or dietary supplements.
