HUMALOG INSULIN LISPRO PENFILL 3 ML

How HUMALOG INSULIN LISPRO PENFILL 3 ML Works

• HUMALOG INSULIN LISPRO PENFILL 3 ML is a rapid-acting insulin that begins to lower blood sugar levels within 10 to 20 minutes after injection. Its action closely mimics the natural insulin produced by your body, helping to regulate glucose metabolism more effectively. This rapid onset makes it particularly useful for managing blood sugar spikes that occur after meals.
• The primary function of insulin, including HUMALOG INSULIN LISPRO PENFILL 3 ML, is to facilitate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into various cells throughout the body, especially muscle and fat cells. By binding to insulin receptors on these cells, it triggers a cascade of intracellular events that ultimately lead to the translocation of glucose transporters to the cell surface, allowing glucose to enter the cells.
• Furthermore, insulin plays a crucial role in suppressing the liver's production and release of glucose. In the absence of sufficient insulin, the liver may release excessive amounts of glucose into the bloodstream, contributing to hyperglycemia. HUMALOG INSULIN LISPRO PENFILL 3 ML helps to prevent this by signaling the liver to reduce glucose output, thereby maintaining stable blood sugar levels. This dual action – promoting glucose uptake and inhibiting glucose release – makes it an essential medication for managing diabetes.
