WHAT THE HUMALOG
INSULINS ARE USED FOR
HUMALOG insulins are used to
reduce high blood sugar (glucose)
levels in insulin dependent diabetic
patients. Diabetes is a condition in
which your pancreas does not
produce enough insulin to control
your blood sugar level. Extra insulin

Type 1 diabetes - also called Insulin
Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
(IDDM). Patients with type 1
diabetes always need insulin to
control their blood sugar levels.

(NIDDM). Some patients with type 2
diabetes may also need insulin after
initial treatment with diet, exercise
