Insulin lispro, sold under the brand name Humalog among others, is a modified type of medical insulin used to treat type 1 and type 2 diabetes. [5] It is delivered subcutaneously either by injection or from an insulin pump. [5] [6] Onset of effects typically occurs within 30 minutes and lasts about 5 hours. [5]
Cats may have their mealtimes strictly scheduled and planned to match with injection times, especially when on insulin with a pronounced peak action like Caninsulin/Vetsulin or Humulin N. If the cat free-feeds and normally eats little bits all day or night, it may be best to use a very slow-acting insulin to keep a constant level of blood glucose.
Faster-acting insulins peak quickly and are subsequently metabolized, while longer-acting insulins tend to have extended peak times and remain active in the body for more significant periods. [5] Examples of rapid-acting insulins (peak at ~1 hour) are: [citation needed] Insulin lispro (Humalog) Insulin aspart (Novolog) Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
There are several types of insulin that are commonly used in medical practice, with varying times of onset and duration of action. [32] - Rapid acting (i.e. insulin lispro) with onset in 15 minutes and duration of about 4 hrs. - Short acting (i.e. regular insulin) with onset in 30 minutes and duration of about 6 hrs.
