What is NovoLog used for?
NovoLog in used to treat adults with diabetes to control high blood sugar. Because NovoLog acts faster and has a shorter duration of action than regular human insulin, NovoLog should normally be used in combination with an intermediate or long-acting insulin. Who should not use NovoLog? Do not use NovoLog if you are experiencing an episode of low blood sugar. Special Warnings with NovoLog: • NovoLog is different from regular human insulin because of its fast onset and shorter duration of action. Because of this fast onset, you will need to eat a meal immediately after injecting NovoLog. • Because of NovoLogs short duration of action, if you have Type 1 diabetes you also require longer-acting insulin to maintain control of blood sugar. • The most common side effect of all insulin preparations including NovoLog is low blood sugar. With all types of insulin the timing of low blood sugar can change depending on the formulation so it is important to monitor your blood sugar regularly. Gener
