Uses
Insulin lispro is used to manage high blood sugar in diabetics in conjunction with a suitable diet and exercise routine. Controlling high blood sugar levels can help prevent kidney disease, blindness, nerve problems, limb loss, and sexual function issues. Diabetes control may also reduce your chance of having a heart attack or stroke. Insulin lispro is a synthetic insulin that is identical to human insulin. It takes the place of the insulin that your body would normally produce. Insulin lispro begins to operate faster and lasts for a shorter period of time than ordinary insulin. It works by allowing blood sugar (glucose) to enter cells and be used for energy by your body. This medication is usually used with a medium- or long-acting insulin product. Insulin lispro may also be used with other oral diabetes medications (such as sulfonylureas like glyburide or glipizide).
