Humalog Mix 25 KwikPen

The Humalog Mix 25 KwikPen contains a mixture of insulin lispro and insulin protamine, which are insulin analogs used to help control blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes. This medication is used for convenient injection under the skin. The KwikPen technology allows for the simple administration of your insulin without the uncertainty involved with complicated injection techniques and the additional involvement of needles, syringes and vials. Insulin lispro is a rapid-acting insulin analog that has been genetically modified to be absorbed better and start working faster than naturally occurring insulin. Lispro protamine is an intermediate-acting insulin analog that has protamines. Protamines are small proteins added to insulin in order to help slow down its onset, as well as increase its duration throughout the day. When combined together, these two types of insulin analogs provide full day coverage against the normal daily fluctuations in blood sugar levels, such as between, during and after meals.

How you take this medication will likely be different from other patients because it will depend on your eating habits, metabolic needs, and other lifestyle variables. Your doctor will prescribe the proper dosage and dosing schedule that is right for you.
