HUMALOG MIX-50 is an injectable medication used to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes mellitus (both Type 1 and Type 2). It is a pre-mixed insulin suspension containing two forms of insulin lispro:
- 50% Insulin Lispro (fast-acting): This component works quickly to lower blood sugar levels, typically within 10-20 minutes after injection, effectively managing the rise in glucose that occurs after meals.
- 50% Insulin Lispro Protamine (intermediate-acting): This component is combined with protamine sulfate, which slows down its absorption and prolongs its action. This provides sustained insulin coverage between meals and overnight, helping to maintain stable blood sugar levels over a longer period.
By combining both a rapid-acting and an intermediate-acting insulin, HUMALOG MIX-50 offers rapid and consistent glucose control throughout the day. It acts as a substitute for the body’s natural insulin production (or lack thereof) to help transport circulating glucose from the bloodstream into muscle and fat tissues, where it can be used for energy. This dual action helps to control both immediate post-meal blood sugar spikes and the basal (background) insulin needs.
HUMALOG MIX-50 is typically available in cartridges (often for use with insulin pens like the KwikPen) and is designed for subcutaneous injection (under the skin). It’s crucial to follow specific instructions for mixing the suspension before each use to ensure a uniform distribution of both insulin components.
This medication is an important part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, which usually includes diet, exercise, regular blood sugar monitoring, and other diabetes medicines. Consistent use, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, helps to reduce the risk of serious long-term complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, eye damage (retinopathy), nerve problems (neuropathy), and diabetic foot ulcers.
