Uses:

• Your doctor will tell you how much medicine to use and how often. Do not change the brand or dose of your insulin unless your doctor tells you to. When you receive a new supply of insulin, check the label to be sure it is the correct type of insulin.
• You may use this medicine just before or just after a meal.
• A doctor, nurse, or pharmacist should teach you how to give your insulin shots. Make sure you understand how to use the medicine and give yourself the shots.
• A subcutaneous (sub-kyoo-TANE-ee-us) or SC injection is a shot given just under your skin, usually on the back of your arm or the top of your thigh, or on your stomach.
• You will be shown several places on your body where this shot can be given. Use a different body area to give your shot each time you use your medicine. Keeping a record of where you give each injection will help make sure you rotate body areas.
• Use a new needle with the Humalog® Mix 75/25™ Pen each time you each time you give yourself insulin.
• Do not mix Humalog® 75/25™ with any other insulin.
• Each time before using Humalog® 75/25™ Pen, mix the insulin by rolling the Pen between your palms 10 times, then turning it upside down 10 times. After mixing, the insulin should look cloudy or milky. Do not use the insulin if the white material is still separated from the clear liquid, or if it looks lumpy, discolored, or has white particles sticking to the bottom or side of the Pen.
• Do not share your needles, syringes, or medicine with anyone else.
• Never share your medicine with anyone.

• Ask your doctor what to do if you miss a dose of insulin.

Storage:

• Store unused Pens in the refrigerator. Do not freeze. The expiration date on the insulin package tells you how long you can keep the medicine in the refrigerator.
• Keep the Pen at room temperature in a cool place, away from sunlight or heat. Throw the Pen away after 10 days, even if it still has insulin in it.
• If you can't keep unused Pens in the refrigerator, you may keep them at room temperature in a cool place, away from sunlight or heat, for 28 days. Throw the medicine away after 28 days.
• Each Humalog® 75/25™ Pen is to be used for only 10 days in a row.
• After giving yourself the injection, remove the needle from the Pen immediately, and throw it away.
• Throw the medicine away after the expiration date has passed.
• You should receive a container for throwing away your used needles and Pens. Otherwise, throw your used needles away in a hard, closed container that the needles cannot poke through.
• Keep all medicine out of the reach of children.

Special precautions:

• Some medicines can make it harder for you to control your diabetes. Make sure your doctor knows about all other medicines you are using.

Warnings:

• Follow the special diet and use the correct dose of insulin that your doctor orders. Diet, exercise, medicine, and checking your blood sugar are important to control your diabetes.
• Your doctor may want to check your progress and blood sugar at regular visits. Be sure to keep all appointments.
• You may have low blood sugar while you are using insulin, especially if you miss a meal, exercise for a long time, or drink alcohol.
• If your blood sugar gets too low, you may feel shaky, weak, drowsy, cold, confused, or very hungry. You may sweat or have blurred vision, a fast heartbeat, trouble concentrating, or a headache that doesn't go away.
• Ask your doctor what to do if you have low blood sugar. You will need to control it quickly. Teach your friends, co-workers, or family members what they can do to help you in case you have low blood sugar.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, are planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
• Make sure your doctor knows if you have kidney disease.
