Humalog Mix25 is used to treat diabetes. Humalog Mix25 is a premixed suspension. Its active substance is insulin lispro. 25 % of the insulin lispro in Humalog Mix25 is dissolved in water and it works more quickly than normal human insulin because the insulin molecule has been changed slightly. 75 % of the insulin lispro in Humalog Mix25 is available in a suspension together with protamine sulphate, so that its action is prolonged. You get diabetes if your pancreas does not make enough insulin to control the level of glucose in your blood. Humalog Mix25 is a substitute for your own insulin and is used to control glucose in the long term. Humalog Mix25 works very quickly and longer than soluble insulin. You should normally use Humalog Mix25 within 15 minutes of a meal. Your doctor may tell you to use Humalog Mix25 as well as a longer-acting insulin. Each kind of insulin comes with another patient information leaflet to tell you about it. Do not change your insulin unless your doctor tells you to. Be very careful if you do change insulin.
