injecting the fast-acting insulin, Humalog, immediately AFTER meals

June 2000

Some patients are now injecting the fast-acting insulin, Humalog, immediately AFTER meals...instead of before meals.

This allows patients to adjust their dose depending on how many carbohydrates they've eaten. This is especially useful for young children who are fussy eaters.

A post-meal dose is also good for patients who have slow or erratic absorption due to diabetic gastroparesis. They can wait and inject Humalog when their blood sugar starts to increase.
