Insulin lispro for Diabetes, Type 1 "I have been on Humalog for at least 15 years with my insulin pump, 770G. It works really well. Yes, the diabetes sugars go up and down, but not due to the Humalog, my body, stress, bad back, stress, infection, various reasons for the fluctuations, and I don’t blame the insulin at all."

Insulin lispro for Diabetes, Type 1 "My insurance changed, and the new insurance doesn't cover Humalog. Since I started Admelog, my BS is very high, also, after a while, it goes very low. I really need help controlling. Humalog was very good for me."

Insulin lispro for Diabetes, Type 1 "Like everyone else, was forced to switch from Humalog by my insurance to Admelog. But unlike most reviews I have read here, Admelog has worked well for me. If anything, it is more potent than Humalog. Maybe the first batches were substandard, who knows. But people shouldn't worry about switching to Admelog right now, it does what it's supposed to do perfectly."

Insulin lispro for Type 2 Diabetes "Significant weight gain (10%) very soon after starting Humalog. Not a powerful reducer of sugar like I would have expected for the frequency and cost."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I have been using Humalog and now insulin lispro for 15 years. I have no issue with the insulin, but the pens leave much to be desired. They skip, jam, and don't work well with BD pen tips. The quality of these pens is nothing like the pen I use for Levemir. I have never had a problem with a Levemir pen. Lilly should be ashamed of this product. If I could change, I would."
