Humalog is an injectable fast-acting man-made insulin.

Humalog KwikPen is an easy-to-use, portable pen that comes prefilled with Humalog mealtime insulin. This lightweight pen is small enough to fit in your pocket and can be used just about anywhere — there is no refrigeration needed after first use. With the prefilled Humalog KwikPen, it's easy to set your dose: simply turn the dose knob in one-unit increments (up to 60 units) to your desired dose. If you dial too much, simply turn the knob back to your correct dose.

	Nonna2Three February 8, 2011 at 4:01 pm 1 Like I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate I have to say this is a good fast acting insulin. I use this on a sliding scale when I do my BG checks. Between this, Lantus and some diet modifications I have had good BG readings 99.95% of the last 3 week. I'm pleased with this medicine.
	Zolar1 September 9, 2010 at 1:02 am 1 Like I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate Easy to use, convenient to carry. Injections hurt less than a finger prick, if at all. It can be expensive. Most of the time I get the dosing right for DAFNE. However, I do make a little mistake now and then. Went hypo to 34 after using it. If you exercise after injecting & eating, you can very well go hypo. For any insulin to be effective, you must exercise.
	lamario February 22, 2010 at 6:01 am 1 Like I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate Great working fast acting insulin. I don't use the kwikpen, but the normal sized one. Pros Easy to take with you, can get different size needles, & works quickly and efficiently. Cons If you take a little too much it is easy for you to go hypo, & the bubbles inside the pen can be hard to get rid of

	Wendy Mac July 10, 2009 at 11:34 am 1 Like I like this I don't like this Report as inappropriate Having done the vial/syringe thing previously, using the Humalog Pen has been a very positive step forward. The no hassle ease of being able to use it anywhere has been wonderful Pros 1. Easy to use 2. Does not need to be refrigerated after first use (once open need to use within 30 days) 3. Less paraphenalia to worry about Cons I haven't found any yet!
