Overview
What is this medicine?
Humalog Mix 75/25 is a pre-mixed insulin that contains two types of insulin: a fast-acting insulin (lispro) and an intermediate-acting insulin (lispro protamine). It helps your body use sugar for energy and lowers blood sugar levels. It's typically given before meals to help control blood sugar spikes after eating and provide longer-lasting control.
How to Use This Medicine
Proper Use of This Medication
To use this medication correctly, follow your doctor's instructions and read all the information provided.

Special Patient Groups
Pregnancy
Insulin is the preferred treatment for managing diabetes in pregnancy, as it does not cross the placenta in significant amounts. Humalog Mix 75/25 can be used, but careful monitoring and dose adjustments are crucial to maintain strict glycemic control.
Trimester-Specific Risks:
First Trimester:
Poor glycemic control in early pregnancy increases risk of congenital malformations. Insulin is generally safe.
Second Trimester:
Insulin requirements may increase. Close monitoring of blood glucose is essential.
Third Trimester:
Insulin requirements may continue to increase. Close monitoring of blood glucose is essential. Risk of macrosomia and other complications if glucose is not controlled.
Lactation
Insulin is compatible with breastfeeding. Insulin is a normal component of breast milk and is not harmful to the infant. Insulin requirements may be lower in breastfeeding mothers.
Infant Risk:
L1 (Safest)
Pediatric Use
Dosing must be individualized and carefully monitored in pediatric patients. Insulin requirements can vary significantly with age, puberty, and growth spurts. Close supervision by a healthcare professional experienced in pediatric diabetes is essential.
Geriatric Use
Older adults may be more susceptible to hypoglycemia due to impaired renal/hepatic function, polypharmacy, and reduced awareness of hypoglycemic symptoms. Dosing should be conservative, and blood glucose monitoring should be frequent. Glycemic targets may be less stringent to avoid hypoglycemia.
Clinical Information
Clinical Pearls
- Humalog Mix 75/25 is a suspension; it must be gently rolled between the palms 10 times and inverted 10 times immediately before each injection to ensure uniform mixing.
- Administer 15 minutes before a meal or immediately after a meal. Consistency in timing relative to meals is important.
- Never administer intravenously. This product is for subcutaneous injection only.
- Do not mix with other insulins or solutions.
- Patients should be educated on recognizing and treating hypoglycemia, and on proper injection technique and site rotation.
- Unopened pens should be stored in the refrigerator (36°F-46°F [2°C-8°C]). Once opened, pens can be stored at room temperature (below 86°F [30°C]) for up to 10 days. Do not freeze.
- Insulin requirements may change during illness, stress, or changes in diet/exercise.
Alternative Therapies
- Basal-bolus insulin regimens (e.g., long-acting insulin + rapid-acting insulin)
- Oral antidiabetic medications (e.g., metformin, sulfonylureas, SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 receptor agonists) for Type 2 Diabetes
- Other insulin regimens (e.g., multiple daily injections, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion)
