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)
Ultralente insulin was a long-acting form of insulin.It has an onset of 4 to 6 hours, a peak of 14 to 24 hours, and a duration of 28 to 36 hours. [1] Ultralente insulin, along with lente insulin, were discontinued in the US by manufacturers in the mid-2000s.
Insulin Lispro Injection was also priced 50% lower than the list price of Humalog U-100. Lilly said that since then 10% of people using Humalog have transitioned to the cheaper injection.
Novo Nordisk created insulin detemir and markets it under the trade name Levemir as a long-lasting insulin analogue for maintaining the basal level of insulin. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] The basal level of insulin may be maintained for up to 20 hours, but the time is affected by the size of the injected dose.
After years of public outcry, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly and Sanofi announced caps or cuts to the cost of their insulin products. Patients with diabetes said it would make life easier.
