A member asked:

I was switched from novolog to humalog (insulin lispro) now my blood sugars are 150+ what is the difference between the two?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Although they: Are manufactured through different processes, the result is functionally identical. They should be interchangeable unit-for-unit with the same effect. Minor adjustments may, of course, be required.
