Insulin lispro for Diabetes, Type 1 "Like everyone else, was forced to switch from Humalog by my insurance to Admelog. But unlike most reviews I have read here, Admelog has worked well for me. If anything, it is more potent than Humalog. Maybe the first batches were substandard, who knows. But people shouldn't worry about switching to Admelog right now, it does what it's supposed to do perfectly."

Insulin lispro for Diabetes, Type 1 "My insurance changed, and the new insurance doesn't cover Humalog. Since I started Admelog, my BS is very high, also, after a while, it goes very low. I really need help controlling. Humalog was very good for me."
