Humalog Mix 25 is a medication used to treat both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. It works in several ways to lower your blood sugar, including by helping certain tissues in the body to store glucose in their cells, preventing the liver from producing more glucose, blocking breakdown of fats and proteins and helping to control the overall production and breakdown of sugar in the body.

You shouldn't take Humalog Mix 25 if: you're allergic to Humalog or any of its inactive ingredients and/or your blood sugar is currently very low. Also, it's never a good idea to share your insulin with another person.
