acin, estrogens, oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, danazol, diuretics, sympathomimetic agents (e.g., epinephrine, albuterol, terbutaline), somatropin, atypical antipsychotics, glucagon, protease inhibitors, and thyroid hormones. dose adjustment and increased frequency of glucose monitoring may be required when humalog is co-administered with these drugs. 7.3 drugs that may increase or decrease the blood glucose lowering effect of humalog the glucose lowering effect of humalog may be increased or decreased with co-administered with beta-blockers, clonidine, lithium salts, and alcohol. pentamidine may cause hypoglycemia, which may sometimes be followed by hyperglycemia. dose adjustment and increased frequency of glucose monitoring may be required when humalog is co-administered with these drugs. 7.4 drugs that may blunt signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3 )] may be blunted when beta-blockers, clonidine, guanethidine, and reserpine are co-administered with humalog.

kwikpen to a syringe as overdosage and severe hypoglycemia can result. ( 5.4 ) hypersensitivity reactions: may be life-threatening. discontinue humalog, monitor and treat if indicated. ( 5.5 ) hypokalemia: may be life-threatening. monitor potassium levels in patients at risk of hypokalemia and treat if indicated. ( 5.6 ) fluid retention and heart failure with concomitant use of thiazolidinediones (tzds): observe for signs and symptoms of heart failure; consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if heart failure occurs. ( 5.7 ) hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis due to insulin pump device malfunction: monitor glucose and administer humalog u-100 by subcutaneous injection if pump malfunction occurs. ( 5.8 ) 5.1 never share a humalog prefilled pen, cartridge, reusable pen compatible with lilly 3 ml cartridges 1 , or syringe between patients humalog prefilled pens, cartridges, and reusable pens compatible with lilly 3 ml cartridges must never be shared between patients, even if the needle is changed. patients using humalog vials must never share needles or syringes with another person. sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens. 5.2 hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia with changes in insulin regimen changes in an insulin regimen (e.g., insulin strength, manufacturer, type, injection site or method of administration) may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3 )] or hyperglycemia. repeated insulin injections into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis have been reported to result in hyperglycemia; and a sudden change in the injection site (to an unaffected area) has been reported to result in hypoglycemia [see adverse reactions ( 6 )] . make any changes to a patient's insulin regimen under close medical supervision with increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring. advise patients who have repeatedly injected into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis to change the injection site to unaffected areas and closely monitor for hypoglycemia. for patients with type 2 diabetes, dosage adjustments of concomitant antidiabetic products may be needed. 5.3 hypoglycemia hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction associated with insulins, including humalog. severe hypoglycemia can cause seizures, may be life-threatening, or cause death. hypoglycemia can impair concentration ability and reaction time; this may place an individual and others at risk in situations where these abilities are important (e.g., driving or operating other machinery). hypoglycemia can happen suddenly and symptoms may differ in each individual and change over time in the same individual. symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia may be less pronounced in patients with longstanding diabetes, in patients with diabetic nerve disease, in patients using medications that block the sympathetic nervous system (e.g., beta-blockers) [see drug interactions ( 7 )] , or in patients who experience recurrent hypoglycemia. risk factors for hypoglycemia the risk of hypoglycemia after an injection is related to the duration of action of the insulin and, in general, is highest when the glucose lowering effect of the insulin is maximal. as with all insulin preparations, the glucose lowering effect time course of humalog may vary in different individuals or at different times in the same individual and depends on many conditions, including the area of injection as well as the injection site blood supply and temperature [see clinical pharmacology ( 12.2 )] . other factors which may increase the risk of hypoglycemia include changes in meal pattern (e.g., macronutrient content or timing of meals), changes in level of physical activity, or changes to co-administered medication [see drug interactions ( 7 )] . patients with renal or hepatic impairment may be at higher risk of hypoglycemia [see use in specific populations ( 8.6 , 8.7 )] . risk mitigation strategies for hypoglycemia patients and caregivers must be educated to recognize and manage hypoglycemia. self-monitoring of blood glucose plays an essential role in the prevention and management of hypoglycemia. in patients at higher risk for hypoglycemia and patients who have reduced symptomatic awareness of hypoglycemia, increased frequency of blood glucose monitoring is recommended. 5.4 hypoglycemia due to medication errors accidental mix-ups between basal insulin products and other insulins, particularly rapid-acting insulins, have been reported. to avoid medication errors between humalog and other insulins, instruct patients to always check the insulin label before each injection. do not transfer humalog u-200 from the humalog kwikpen to a syringe. the markings on the insulin syringe will not measure the dose correctly and can result in overdosage and severe hypoglycemia [see dosage and administration ( 2.1 ) and warnings and precautions ( 5.3 )] . 5.5 hypersensitivity reactions severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, can occur with insulin products, including humalog. if hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue humalog; treat per standard of care and monitor until symptoms and signs resolve [see adverse reactions ( 6.1 )] . humalog is contraindicated in patients who have had hypersensitivity reactions to humalog or any of its excipients [see contraindications ( 4 )] . 5.6 hypokalemia all insulin products, including humalog, cause a shift in potassium from the extracellular to intracellular space, possibly leading to hypokalemia. untreated hypokalemia may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. monitor potassium levels in patients at risk for hypokalemia if indicated (e.g., patients using potassium-lowering medications, patients taking medications sensitive to serum potassium concentrations). 5.7 fluid retention and heart failure with concomitant use of ppar-gamma agonists thiazolidinediones (tzds), which are peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (ppar)-gamma agonists, can cause dose-related fluid retention, particularly when used in combination with insulin. fluid retention may lead to or exacerbate heart failure. patients treated with insulin, including humalog, and a ppar-gamma agonist should be observed for signs and symptoms of heart failure. if heart failure develops, it should be managed according to current standards of care, and discontinuation or dose reduction of the ppar-gamma agonist must be considered. 5.8 hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis due to insulin pump device malfunction malfunction of the insulin pump or insulin infusion set or insulin degradation can rapidly lead to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis. prompt identification and correction of the cause of hyperglycemia or ketosis is necessary. interim subcutaneous injections with humalog may be required. patients using continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion pump therapy must be trained to administer insulin by injection and have alternate insulin therapy available in case of pump failure [see how supplied/storage and handling ( 16.2 ) and patient counseling information ( 17 )] .

sage of humalog must be individualized based on the route of administration and the individual's metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results and glycemic control goal. ( 2.3 ) do not perform dose conversion when using the humalog u-100 or u-200 prefilled pens. the dose window shows the number of insulin units to be delivered and no conversion is needed. ( 2.1 , 2.3 ) do not mix humalog u-200 with any other insulin. ( 2.4 ) 2.1 important administration instructions always check insulin labels before administration [see warnings and precautions ( 5.4 )]. inspect humalog visually before use. it should appear clear and colorless. do not use humalog if particulate matter or coloration is seen. use humalog prefilled pens with caution in patients with visual impairment that may rely on audible clicks to dial their dose. do not mix humalog u-100 with other insulins when administering using a continuous subcutaneous infusion pump. do not transfer humalog u-200 from the prefilled pen to a syringe for administration [see warnings and precautions ( 5.4 )]. do not perform dose conversion when using any humalog u-100 or u-200 prefilled pens. the dose window shows the number of insulin units to be delivered and no conversion is needed. do not mix humalog u-200 with any other insulins. do not administer humalog u-200 using a continuous subcutaneous infusion pump (i.e., insulin pump). do not administer humalog u-200 intravenously. 2.2 route of administration subcutaneous injection: humalog u-100 or u-200 administer the dose of humalog u-100 or humalog u-200 within fifteen minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal by injection into the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks. to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis, rotate the injection site within the same region from one injection to the next. do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 ) and adverse reactions ( 6 )] . during changes to a patient's insulin regimen, increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 )] . humalog administered by subcutaneous injection should generally be used in regimens with an intermediate- or long-acting insulin. the humalog u-100 kwikpen, humalog u-100 tempo pen and humalog u-200 kwikpen each dial in 1 unit increments and delivers a maximum dose of 60 units per injection. the humalog u-100 junior kwikpen dials in 0.5 unit increments and delivers a maximum does of 30 units per injection. continuous subcutaneous infusion (insulin pump): humalog u-100 only do not administer humalog u-200 using a continuous subcutaneous infusion pump. administer humalog u-100 by continuous subcutaneous infusion in a region recommended in the instructions from the pump manufacturer. rotate infusion sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. do not inject into areas of lipodystrophy or localized cutaneous amyloidosis [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 ) and adverse reactions ( 6 )] . during changes to a patient's insulin regimen, increase the frequency of blood glucose monitoring [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 )] . follow healthcare professional recommendations when setting basal and meal time infusion rate. do not dilute or mix humalog u-100 when administering by continuous subcutaneous infusion. change humalog u-100 in the pump reservoir at least every 7 days. change the infusion sets and the infusion set insertion site at least every 3 days. do not expose humalog u-100 in the pump reservoir to temperatures greater than 98.6°f (37°c). use humalog u-100 in pump systems suitable for insulin infusion [see patient counseling information ( 17 )] . intravenous administration: humalog u-100 only do not administer humalog u-200 intravenously. dilute humalog u-100 to concentrations from 0.1 unit/ml to 1.0 unit/ml using 0.9% sodium chloride injection, usp. administer humalog u-100 intravenously only under medical supervision with close monitoring of blood glucose and potassium levels to avoid hypoglycemia and hypokalemia [see warnings and precautions ( 5.3 , 5.6 ) and how supplied/storage and handling ( 16.4 )] . 2.3 dosage information individualize and adjust the dosage of humalog based on route of administration, the individual's metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results and glycemic control goal. dosage adjustments may be needed with changes in physical activity, changes in meal patterns (i.e., macronutrient content or timing of food intake), changes in renal or hepatic function or during acute illness [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 , 5.3 ) and use in specific populations ( 8.6 , 8.7 )] . do not perform dose conversion when using any humalog u-100 or u-200 prefilled pens. the dose window shows the number of insulin units to be delivered and no conversion is needed. 2.4 dosage adjustment due to drug interactions dosage adjustment may be needed when humalog is coadministered with certain drugs [see drug interactions ( 7 )] . dosage adjustment may be needed when switching from another insulin to humalog [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 )] . instructions for mixing with other insulins humalog u-100 subcutaneous injection route humalog u-100 may be mixed with nph insulin preparations only . if humalog u-100 is mixed with nph insulin, humalog u-100 should be drawn into the syringe first. injection should occur immediately after mixing. humalog u-100 continuous subcutaneous infusion route (insulin pump) do not mix humalog u-100 with any other insulin. humalog u-200 subcutaneous injection route do not mix with any other insulin.

or rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with a transitory, reversible ophthalmologic refraction disorder, worsening of diabetic retinopathy, and acute painful peripheral neuropathy. however, long-term glycemic control decreases the risk of diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy. lipodystrophy long-term use of insulin, including humalog, can cause lipodystrophy at the site of repeated insulin injections or infusion. lipodystrophy includes lipohypertrophy (thickening of adipose tissue) and lipoatrophy (thinning of adipose tissue), and may affect insulin absorption. rotate insulin injection or infusion sites within the same region to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy [see dosage and administration ( 2.2 )] . weight gain weight gain can occur with insulin therapy, including humalog, and has been attributed to the anabolic effects of insulin and the decrease in glucosuria. peripheral edema insulin, including humalog, may cause sodium retention and edema, particularly if previously poor metabolic control is improved by intensified insulin therapy. adverse reactions with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (csii) — humalog u-100 in a 12-week, randomized, crossover study in adult patients with type 1 diabetes (n=39), the rates of catheter occlusions and infusion site reactions were similar for humalog u-100 and regular human insulin treated patients ( see table 3 ). table 3: catheter occlusions and infusion site reactions humalog u-100 (n=38) regular human insulin (n=39) catheter occlusions/month 0.09 0.10 infusion site reactions 2.6% (1/38) 2.6% (1/39) in a randomized, 16-week, open-label, parallel design study of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, adverse event reports related to infusion-site reactions were similar for insulin lispro and insulin aspart (21% of 100 patients versus 17% of 198 patients, respectively). in both groups, the most frequently reported infusion site adverse events were infusion site erythema and infusion site reaction. allergic reactions local allergy — as with any insulin therapy, patients taking humalog may experience redness, swelling, or itching at the site of the injection. these minor reactions usually resolve in a few days to a few weeks, but in some occasions, may require discontinuation of humalog. in some instances, these reactions may be related to factors other than insulin, such as irritants in a skin cleansing agent or poor injection technique. systemic allergy — severe, life-threatening, generalized allergy, including anaphylaxis, may occur with any insulin, including humalog. generalized allergy to insulin may cause whole body rash (including pruritus), dyspnea, wheezing, hypotension, tachycardia, or diaphoresis. in controlled clinical trials, pruritus (with or without rash) was seen in 17 patients receiving regular human insulin (n=2969) and 30 patients receiving humalog (n=2944). localized reactions and generalized myalgias have been reported with injected metacresol, which is an excipient in humalog [see contraindications ( 4 )] . antibody production in large clinical trials with patients with type 1 (n=509) and type 2 (n=262) diabetes mellitus, anti-insulin antibody (insulin lispro-specific antibodies, insulin-specific antibodies, cross-reactive antibodies) formation was evaluated in patients receiving both regular human insulin and humalog (including patients previously treated with human insulin and naive patients). as expected, the largest increase in the antibody levels occurred in patients new to insulin therapy. the antibody levels peaked by 12 months and declined over the remaining years of the study. these antibodies do not appear to cause deterioration in glycemic control or necessitate an increase in insulin dose. there was no statistically significant relationship between the change in the total daily insulin dose and the change in percent antibody binding for any of the antibody types. 6.2 postmarketing experience humalog u-100 the following additional adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of humalog. because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. medication errors in which other insulins have been accidentally substituted for humalog have been identified during post-approval use [see patient counseling information ( 17 )] . localized cutaneous amyloidosis at the injection site has occurred. hyperglycemia has been reported with repeated insulin injections into areas of localized cutaneous amyloidosis; hypoglycemia has been reported with a sudden change to an unaffected injection site.

duration) as designated in figure 1 should be considered only as general guidelines. the rate of insulin absorption, and consequently the onset of activity are known to be affected by the site of injection, exercise, and other variables [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2 )] . figure 1: blood glucose levels after subcutaneous injection of regular human insulin or humalog (0.2 unit/kg) immediately before a high carbohydrate meal in 10 patients with type 1 diabetes a . a baseline insulin concentration was maintained by infusion of 0.2 mu/min/kg human insulin. figure 1 intravenous administration of humalog u-100 — the glucose lowering effect of intravenously administered humalog was tested in 21 patients with type 1 diabetes. for the study, the patients' usual doses of insulin were held and blood glucose concentrations were allowed to reach a stable range of 200 to 260 mg/dl during a one to three hours run-in phase. the run-in phase was followed by a 6-hour assessment phase. during the assessment phase, patients received intravenous humalog at an initial infusion rate of 0.5 units/hour. the infusion rate of humalog could be adjusted at regular timed intervals to achieve and maintain blood glucose concentrations between 100 to 160 mg/dl. the mean blood glucose levels during the assessment phase for patients on humalog therapy are summarized below in table 4 . all patients achieved the targeted glucose range at some point during the 6-hour assessment phase. at the endpoint, blood glucose was within the target range (100 to 160 mg/dl) for 17 of 20 patients treated with humalog. the average time (±se) required to attain near normoglycemia was 129 ± 14 minutes for humalog. table 4: mean blood glucose concentrations (mg/dl) during intravenous infusions of humalog u-100 a results shown as mean ± sd time from start of infusion (minutes) mean blood glucose (mg/dl) intravenous a 0 224 ± 16 30 205 ± 21 60 195 ± 20 120 165 ± 26 180 140 ± 26 240 123 ± 20 300 120 ± 27 360 122 ± 25 the pharmacodynamics of a single 20 unit dose of humalog u-200 administered subcutaneously were compared to the pharmacodynamics of a single 20 unit dose of humalog u-100 administered subcutaneously in a euglycemic clamp study enrolling healthy subjects. in this study, the overall, maximum, and time to maximum glucose lowering effect were similar between humalog u-200 and humalog u-100. the mean area under the glucose infusion rate curves (measure of overall pharmacodynamic effect) were 125 g and 126 g for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. the maximum glucose infusion rate was 534 mg/min and 559 mg/min and the corresponding median time (min, max) to maximum effect were 2.8 h (0.5 h – 6.3 h) and 2.4 h (0.5 h – 4.7 h) for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. 12.3 pharmacokinetics absorption and bioavailability — studies in healthy volunteers and patients with diabetes demonstrated that humalog is absorbed more quickly than regular human insulin. in healthy volunteers given subcutaneous doses of humalog ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 unit/kg, peak serum levels were seen 30 to 90 minutes after dosing. when healthy volunteers received equivalent doses of regular human insulin, peak insulin levels occurred between 50 to 120 minutes after dosing. similar results were seen in patients with type 1 diabetes ( see figure 2 ). figure 2: serum humalog and insulin levels after subcutaneous injection of regular human insulin or humalog (0.2 unit/kg) immediately before a high carbohydrate meal in 10 patients with type 1 diabetes a . a baseline insulin concentration was maintained by infusion of 0.2 mu/min/kg human insulin. humalog u-100 was absorbed at a consistently faster rate than regular human insulin in healthy male volunteers given 0.2 unit/kg at abdominal, deltoid, or femoral subcutaneous sites. after humalog was administered in the abdomen, serum drug levels were higher and the duration of action was slightly shorter than after deltoid or thigh administration. bioavailability of humalog is similar to that of regular human insulin. the absolute bioavailability after subcutaneous injection ranges from 55% to 77% with doses between 0.1 to 0.2 unit/kg, inclusive. the results of a study in healthy subjects demonstrated that humalog u-200 is bioequivalent to humalog u-100 following administration of a single 20 unit dose. the mean observed area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity was 2360 pmol hr/l and 2390 pmol hr/l for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. the corresponding mean peak serum insulin concentration was 795 pmol/l and 909 pmol/l for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. the median time to maximum concentration was 1.0 hour for both formulations. figure 2 distribution — when administered intravenously as bolus injections of 0.1 and 0.2 u/kg dose in two separate groups of healthy subjects, the mean volume of distribution of humalog appeared to decrease with increase in dose (1.55 and 0.72 l/kg, respectively) in contrast to that of regular human insulin for which, the volume of distribution was comparable across the two dose groups (1.37 and 1.12 l/kg for 0.1 and 0.2 u/kg dose, respectively). metabolism — human metabolism studies have not been conducted. however, animal studies indicate that the metabolism of humalog is identical to that of regular human insulin. elimination — after subcutaneous administration of humalog, the t 1/2 is shorter than that of regular human insulin (1 versus 1.5 hours, respectively). when administered intravenously, humalog and regular human insulin demonstrated similar dose-dependent clearance, with a mean clearance of 21.0 ml/min/kg and 21.4 ml/min/kg, respectively (0.1 unit/kg dose), and 9.6 ml/min/kg and 9.4 ml/min/kg, respectively (0.2 unit/kg dose). accordingly, humalog demonstrated a mean t 1/2 of 0.85 hours (51 minutes) and 0.92 hours (55 minutes), respectively for 0.1 unit/kg and 0.2 unit/kg doses, and regular human insulin mean t 1/2 was 0.79 hours (47 minutes) and 1.28 hours (77 minutes), respectively for 0.1 unit/kg and 0.2 unit/kg doses. specific populations the effects of age, gender, race, obesity, pregnancy, or smoking on the pharmacokinetics of humalog have not been studied. renal impairment — type 2 diabetic patients with varying degree of renal impairment showed no difference in pharmacokinetics of regular insulin and humalog. however, the sensitivity of the patients to insulin did change, with an increased response to insulin as the renal function declined. some studies with human insulin have shown increased circulating levels of insulin in patients with renal impairment. careful glucose monitoring and dose adjustments of insulin, including humalog, may be necessary in patients with renal dysfunction. hepatic impairment — type 2 diabetic patients with impaired hepatic function showed no effect on the pharmacokinetics of humalog as compared to patients with no hepatic dysfunction. however, some studies with human insulin have shown increased circulating levels of insulin in patients with liver failure. careful glucose monitoring and dose adjustments of insulin, including humalog, may be necessary in patients with hepatic dysfunction.

dominal, deltoid, or femoral subcutaneous sites. after humalog was administered in the abdomen, serum drug levels were higher and the duration of action was slightly shorter than after deltoid or thigh administration. bioavailability of humalog is similar to that of regular human insulin. the absolute bioavailability after subcutaneous injection ranges from 55% to 77% with doses between 0.1 to 0.2 unit/kg, inclusive. the results of a study in healthy subjects demonstrated that humalog u-200 is bioequivalent to humalog u-100 following administration of a single 20 unit dose. the mean observed area under the serum insulin concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity was 2360 pmol hr/l and 2390 pmol hr/l for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. the corresponding mean peak serum insulin concentration was 795 pmol/l and 909 pmol/l for humalog u-200 and humalog u-100, respectively. the median time to maximum concentration was 1.0 hour for both formulations. figure 2 distribution — when administered intravenously as bolus injections of 0.1 and 0.2 u/kg dose in two separate groups of healthy subjects, the mean volume of distribution of humalog appeared to decrease with increase in dose (1.55 and 0.72 l/kg, respectively) in contrast to that of regular human insulin for which, the volume of distribution was comparable across the two dose groups (1.37 and 1.12 l/kg for 0.1 and 0.2 u/kg dose, respectively). metabolism — human metabolism studies have not been conducted. however, animal studies indicate that the metabolism of humalog is identical to that of regular human insulin. elimination — after subcutaneous administration of humalog, the t 1/2 is shorter than that of regular human insulin (1 versus 1.5 hours, respectively). when administered intravenously, humalog and regular human insulin demonstrated similar dose-dependent clearance, with a mean clearance of 21.0 ml/min/kg and 21.4 ml/min/kg, respectively (0.1 unit/kg dose), and 9.6 ml/min/kg and 9.4 ml/min/kg, respectively (0.2 unit/kg dose). accordingly, humalog demonstrated a mean t 1/2 of 0.85 hours (51 minutes) and 0.92 hours (55 minutes), respectively for 0.1 unit/kg and 0.2 unit/kg doses, and regular human insulin mean t 1/2 was 0.79 hours (47 minutes) and 1.28 hours (77 minutes), respectively for 0.1 unit/kg and 0.2 unit/kg doses. specific populations the effects of age, gender, race, obesity, pregnancy, or smoking on the pharmacokinetics of humalog have not been studied. renal impairment — type 2 diabetic patients with varying degree of renal impairment showed no difference in pharmacokinetics of regular insulin and humalog. however, the sensitivity of the patients to insulin did change, with an increased response to insulin as the renal function declined. some studies with human insulin have shown increased circulating levels of insulin in patients with renal impairment. careful glucose monitoring and dose adjustments of insulin, including humalog, may be necessary in patients with renal dysfunction. hepatic impairment — type 2 diabetic patients with impaired hepatic function showed no effect on the pharmacokinetics of humalog as compared to patients with no hepatic dysfunction. however, some studies with human insulin have shown increased circulating levels of insulin in patients with liver failure. careful glucose monitoring and dose adjustments of insulin, including humalog, may be necessary in patients with hepatic dysfunction.

1c values decreased from 7.8% to 7.2% in the humalog-treated patients and from 7.8% to 7.5% in the regular human insulin-treated patients. another study involved 60 patients (mean age 39, range 15 to 58 years) treated for 24 weeks with either humalog or buffered regular human insulin. after 12 weeks of treatment, the mean hba 1c values decreased from 7.7% to 7.4% in the humalog-treated patients and remained unchanged from 7.7% in the buffered regular human insulin-treated patients. rates of hypoglycemia were comparable between treatment groups in both studies. 14.5 type 1 diabetes – pediatric continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion a randomized, 16-week, open-label, parallel design, study of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (n=298) aged 4 to 18 years compared two subcutaneous infusion regimens administered via an external insulin pump: insulin aspart (n=198) or humalog u-100 (n=100). these two treatments resulted in comparable changes from baseline in hba 1c
