insulin lispro side effects

Humalog 75/25 is a mixture of insulin lispro solution [75] and insulin lispro protamine suspension [25], an intermediate-acting blood glucose lowering agent. Call your doctor's office for an explanation as to why you were put on fast acting alone.

isophane insulin starts working after one to two hours and lasts 10 to 14 hours. Examples are Humulin I and Insulatard. * Long-acting insulin: these start working after one to two hours and last for up to 24 hours. Examples are insulin zinc suspension, protamine zinc insulin, and the insulin analogues insulin glargine and insulin detemir. The latter two insulins are now the most widely used long-acting insulins.

"Less common or rare Depression of the skin at place of injection; thickening of the skin at place of injection; ..." This doesn't mention cellulite directly, but it sounds similar. The site also has a clear caution to discuss these or any other changes with your doc.

s at max to almost hitting 600! So I finally decided to go on insulin. (yes i know its not a cure-all, but I knew it would help out while I try to get better.) I ended up getting humalog for fast-acting, and another for long lasting. This morning, I woke up with 470 as my number!!! So i took my dose of humalog and waited 45 minutes, checked again, and it was only down to 437. Took a BIGGER DOSE later, like a lot more units (25 I think?) waited 2 hours then checked again. and it went up to 457.

Another question from me:P, i have been reading around latley, and have found many differnt types of insulin,and insulin pumpsm etc. all with there pro's,and cons. If possible, could someone please explain to me the differnt types of insulin, and ways of managing diabeties, and the pros and cons of them.

The modern short acting insulin that is considered safe for pregnancy is Humalog (insulin lispro). The modern long acting insulin that is considered safe for pregnancy is levemir (insulin detemir). You will need to do basal-bolus testing to determine your correct insulin dosages for each type of insulin. You should also look into low carb eating (paleo style), which will help with managing blood sugar as well.

My son, age 23 was diagnosed at 16. He uses an insulin pump and has noticed skin changes on the lateral sides of his abdomen where he inserts his sites. The areas are small and slightly lighter in color than his skin, they are flat or slightly raised, don't hurt and are not necessarily around the area of his current site. Two college health center doctors said they do not know what it is but they said it looks like the cholesterol deposits that people get around their eyes.

All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects. These are the most COMMON side effects of Lantus. Redness, swelling, itching, or mild pain at the injection site.

I'm another volunteer here and also not a medical professional. WAK is right that you should talk to your doc about this episode. While I haven't had the specific reaction you described, I can remember having some unusual symptoms if I accidentally injected into a blood vessel or muscle so that my insulin "hit" more quickly than it would otherwise. As you know, we strive to inject in fatty-tissue (subQ or subcutaneous) that is nourished by a healthy blood supply.

The best combination of insulins is a long acting basal like lantus, combined with meal-time dosing of a shorter acting insulin like Lispro or even Regular insulin. It takes some finessing, but many folks can get much better control using this regimen. It does require several shots a day, atleast 4 actually because the Lantus is taken separately. But the control is worth it. If you then able to learn Carbohydrate counting and really get this down to a science, yo can get very good control.

I immediately started to gain weight. And stopped the Seroquel immediately (mid Dec). I know this is one of the side effects. I gained about 5lbs. Being 5'9" and weighing 135, I felt the 5 extra pounds would come off with eating better and a few more yoga classes . But the weight kept coming. I got down to a dietary intake of about 1000 cals. But that mad no difference.

if you use too much insulin you can get hypos that said ive had no other side effects i have been on insulin for 17 years

There are a number of insulin related drugs on the market with varying degrees of side effects. Since you kept your medications [injectable & oral] a secret from us it's impossible to answer your question. However, you can perform your own research investigation by Googling the name of the drug followed by the words "side effects" [w/o the " "].

Hi, There can be side effects of low blood sugars mainly in you(shakiness, sweating, passing out, seizures) if the sugars go too low(usually below 40mg/dL is the level when most folks have serious side effects like passing out). There is risk of injury to your baby if you fall during a low episode. But overall insulin is safe for use in pregnancy and has been for many many years.

Well, loss of balance, slurred speech, loss of memory and disorientation are not known side effects of Bonista injection, so in a way the neurologist was correct. However, if the symptoms are reappearing with the injections, then yes, there could be a connection, or the injection is causing these symptoms due to some drug interactions, if the patient is on other drugs. Do discuss this with your mother's doctor. Take care!

Hmmm, not everyone's side effects will be the same. In fact, you may not really have any side effects that you notice. My side effects were: racing heart - I lost about 5 lbs in 3 days. skin sensitive to the touch. feeling like I was beat up with a baseball bat on my back. shaking. and feeling like my achilles tendon was going to rip off. Just try to relax and take it easy. I hope all goes good for you.

I had my first experience with Solu-Medrol infusion in early August. My relapse had just started and was worsening daily-right before I was due to start training for my new job! The immediate side-effects were quite obvious and well documented. I'm having less success finding out about long-term side-effects-in particular, rapid weight gain. I noticed the bloating quite early in my treatment, especially in my face and abdomen.

As with all medication, discuss in detail with your doctor the potential risks and advantages of the prescribe medication, including side effects. Talk with the pharmacist too.

Can you tell me about its side effects? Recently I went for a checkup and my doctor gave me Metformin for weight loss (It suddently went up to 99 kg though I was at 85 before and was following a strict diet plan). I don't have diabetes and I haven't been diagnosed with PCOS, and I think Metformin is generally used for these two issues. So I'm concened whether I should really be Metformin. Can it mess up my insulin system?

many people who have diabetes can manage this side-effect with proper exercise and by experimenting with their family doctors or their diabetes specialists to find a type of insulin (there are many different types) that does not have noticeable side effects or maybe has tolerable side-effects. But, still, what it comes down to, is that for someone with Type 1 Diabetes... without their medication, their insulin, regardless of side-effects such as weight gain, they would DIE.

I am going to start taking metformin tonight for my pcos. What side effects should I be expecting and what has happened with others while on this drug. I don't believe I am insulin resistant so this is weird to be taking a diabetic med for infertility.
