How it works

Regulation of glucose metabolism is the primary activity of insulins and insulin analogs, including insulin lispro products. Insulins lower blood glucose by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and fat, and by inhibiting hepatic glucose production. Insulins inhibit lipolysis and proteolysis and enhance protein synthesis.

Dosing overview

See Full Prescribing Information for important preparation and administration instructions. Rotate injection sites to reduce risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Subcutaneous injection: Administer ADMELOG by subcutaneous injection into the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks within 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal. Continuous subcutaneous infusion (Insulin Pump): Refer to the insulin infusion pump user manual to see if ADMELOG can be used. Use in accordance with the insulin pump instructions for use. Administer ADMELOG by continuous subcutaneous infusion using an insulin pump in a region recommended in the instructions from the pump manufacturer. Rotate infusion sites to reduce risk of lipodystrophy and localized cutaneous amyloidosis. Do not mix with other insulins or diluents in the pump.
