Caption: Provides Proven A1C Reduction

00:28-00:40
[Charlie takes a bowl from a cabinet]

Narrator: As a fast-acting insulin, Lyumjev helps control high blood sugar levels after meals in adults with diabetes, similar to how natural insulin works after meals in people without diabetes.

Caption: Lyumjev is used to treat adults with diabetes for the control of high blood sugar. Available by prescription only.

00:40-00:55
[Charlie pours nacho chips from package into bowl, and then washes hands in kitchen sink]

Caption: Do not take Lyumjev if you have symptoms of low blood sugar or an allergy to insulin lispro-aabc or any of the ingredients in Lyumjev.

Narrator: Lyumjev starts acting fast and should be taken at the start of your meal or within 20 minutes after beginning to eat. Do not take Lyumjev if you have symptoms of low blood sugar or an allergy to insulin lispro-aabc or any of the ingredients in Lyumjev.

04:32-05:07
Important Facts About LYUMJEV® (LOOM-jehv)

  • Lyumjev is also known as insulin lispro-aabc injection.
  • Lyumjev is a fast-acting insulin. Lyumjev is used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. It is available only with a prescription.
  • Lyumjev comes in two strengths: U-100 (100 units per milliliter) and U-200 (200 units per milliliter). Lyumjev U-200 contains 2 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as Lyumjev U-100. The dose window on the pens shows the number of units of Lyumjev to be injected.
  • It is not known if Lyumjev is safe and effective for children.

05:07-05:11
All Lyumjev products contain insulin lispro.

05:11-05:21
Warnings
Do not take Lyumjev if you have:

  • symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  • an allergy to insulin lispro-aabc or any of the ingredients in Lyumjev.

05:21-05:29
Do not reuse needles or share your insulin injection supplies with other people.
This includes your:

  • prefilled pen for use by a single patient
  • cartridges
  • needles
  • syringes

05:29-05:35
You or the other person can get a serious infection. This can happen even if you change the needle.

05:35-05:43
Do not change the type of insulin you take or your dose, unless your doctor tells you to. This could cause low or high blood sugar, which could be serious.

05:43-05:55
Do not use a syringe to remove Lyumjev from your disposable prefilled pen or cartridge. This can cause you to take too much insulin. Taking too much insulin can lead to severe low blood sugar. This may result in seizures or death.

05:55-05:59
Lyumjev may cause serious side effects. Some of these can lead to death.

05:59-06:14
The possible serious side effects are:

  • Low blood sugar. This can cause:
    • dizziness or lightheadedness
    • headache
    • shakiness
    • irritability
    • sweating
    • blurred vision
    • fast heartbeat
    • mood change
    • confusion
    • slurred speech
    • anxiety
    • hunger

06:14-06:30
If you are at risk of having severely low blood sugar, your doctor may prescribe a glucagon emergency kit. These are used when your blood sugar becomes too low and you are unable to take sugar by mouth. Glucagon helps your body release sugar into your bloodstream.

06:30-06:37

  • Low potassium in your blood. This can lead to severe breathing problems, irregular heartbeat, and death.

06:37-06:53

  • Severe allergic reaction. Get emergency help right away if you have:
    • a rash over your whole body
    • trouble breathing
    • a fast heartbeat
    • a faint feeling
    • shortness of breath
    • extreme drowsiness
    • dizziness
    • confusion
    • swelling of your face, tongue, or throat

06:53-07:24

  • Heart failure. Taking diabetes pills called thiazolidinediones or “TZDs” with Lyumjev may cause heart failure in some people. This includes people who do not have any heart failure or heart problems. If you have heart failure, it may get worse if you take TZDs with Lyumjev. Tell your doctor if you have any new symptoms of heart failure, or if they get worse. Some symptoms of heart failure include: shortness of breath, swelling of ankles and feet, and sudden weight gain. Your doctor may need to change or stop treatment with TZDs and Lyumjev.

07:24-07:42

  • Sudden onset of high blood sugar and high amounts of ketones in your blood or urine. You can have these serious side effects when your insulin pump or infusion set is not working the right way or if there are handling errors. For these reasons, you may not get the right amount of insulin, so always keep extra insulin and injection supplies with you.

07:42-07:59
Common side effects
The most common side effects of Lyumjev are:

  • low blood sugar
  • allergic reactions
  • rash
  • reactions or pain at the injection site or infusion site with insulin pump use
  • itching
  • skin thickening or pits at the injection or infusion site
  • weight gain

07:59-08:13
These are not all of the possible side effects. Tell your doctor if you have any side effects. You can report side effects at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch .

08:13-08:40
Before using
Talk with your doctor about low blood sugar and how to manage it. Also tell your doctor:

  • about all of the medicines you take, including over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements
  • about any other prescription medicines you take, especially ones called TZDs
  • about all of your medical conditions, including if you have heart failure or other heart, liver, or kidney problems.
  • if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed.

08:40-09:05
How to take
Read the Instructions for Use that come with your Lyumjev. Be sure to take your Lyumjev and check your blood sugar levels exactly as your doctor tells you to. Your doctor may tell you to change your dose because of illness, increased stress, or changes in your weight, diet, or physical activity level. He or she may also tell you to change the amount or time of your dose because of other medicines or different types of insulin you take.

09:05-09:47
Before injecting your Lyumjev
You can inject your insulin dose yourself, or you can have a trained caregiver inject it for you. Make sure you or your caregiver:

  • Check the insulin label before each injection. This will help you make sure that you are taking the correct insulin.
  • Use a new needle for each injection. You can get a serious infection or the wrong dose of insulin if you reuse needles.
  • Change (rotate) where you inject your insulin with each dose. This can reduce your chance of getting pits, lumps, or thickened skin where you inject your insulin. Do not inject your insulin into the exact same spot or where the skin has pits or lumps. Avoid injecting into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin.

09:47-09:55
When you are ready to inject

  • Inject Lyumjev under your skin at the beginning of a meal or within 20 minutes after you start eating a meal.

09:55-10:18
Staying safe while taking your Lyumjev
To stay safe while taking your insulin, be sure to never inject Lyumjev U-200 in your vein or with an insulin pump. Also be sure not to:

  • mix Lyumjev with other insulins or liquids
  • drive or use heavy machinery until you know how your Lyumjev affects you.
  • drink alcohol or use other medicines that contain alcohol when taking your Lyumjev.

How to administer Lyumjev U-100 using an insulin pump

Lyumjev is a fast-acting insulin used to treat adults and children with diabetes for the control of high blood sugar.

Read the full Instructions for Use that came with your Lyumjev for more information.

Important considerations when taking Lyumjev U-100 in a pump:

  1. Use your pump and insulin exactly as your doctor tells you to and according to the user manual. Check your pump’s instructions to make sure it can be used with Lyumjev U-100.
  2. Change the Lyumjev in your pump reservoir according to the pump’s instructions even if you haven’t used all the insulin. Throw insulin away if exposed to temperatures higher than 98.6 °F (37 °C).
  3. Change infusion sets and choose your infusion site according to your pump’s instructions. Rotate sites to reduce your chance of getting pits, lumps, or thickened skin and don’t place your set into thickened, tender, bruised, scaly, hard, scarred, or damaged skin. Change your site and tell your doctor if the skin around your site becomes red, itchy, pitted, lumpy, or thickened.
  4. Pump malfunctions, infusion site issues, or insulin that is no longer effective can cause high blood sugar and ketoacidosis (buildup of ketones in the body). Pump malfunctions can also cause low blood sugar. Talk to your doctor about when to switch to insulin injections if these issues can’t be resolved quickly.
  5. Do not use Lyumjev U-200 in an insulin pump. Do not mix Lyumjev with other insulins or liquids.

If you have additional questions, give us a call at 1-800-LillyRx ( 1-800-545-5979 ).
