Learn how to take Lyumjev

Everyone’s experience with a medicine can be different. It’s important to know possible side effects to look for.

Know what to expect

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.

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

How should I take Lyumjev?

Lyumjev starts working fast. Take Lyumjev with your first bite or within 20 minutes after you start eating to reduce your blood sugar.

Methods of Administration

Lyumjev can be given with a KwikPen^®, a vial and syringe, or an insulin pump, just like Humalog^® (insulin lispro) injection, 100 units/mL.

Lyumjev U-200 cannot be given by an insulin pump.
Check your insulin pump's user manual to see if it can be used with Lyumjev U-100. Follow the instructions in your pump's user guide when taking Lyumjev.

Be sure to take your insulin 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. They may also tell you to change the amount or time of your dose because of other medicines or different types of insulin you take.

How to take

Read the Instructions for Use that come with your Lyumjev or Humalog. Be sure to take your Lyumjev or Humalog and check your blood sugar levels exactly as your doctor tells you to.

Before injecting your Lyumjev or Humalog
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.
Monitor injection and infusion sites closely when initiating therapy with Lyumjev in children. Contact a healthcare provider if persistent injection or infusion site reactions occur.

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.
Inject Humalog under your skin within 15 minutes before or right after you eat a meal.

Staying safe while taking your Lyumjev or Humalog
To stay safe while taking your insulin, be sure to never inject Lyumjev U-200 in your vein, muscle, 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 or Humalog affects you.
drink alcohol or use other medicines that contain alcohol when taking your Lyumjev or Humalog.
