Humalog effect and duration time.

Well, what time takes you fast to take effect and how long?

In my personal case, just injecting it and up to four hours down slowly.

About 15min to start, peak at the time, an hour and a half, and about four hours to finish.

30 min to start, peak at 2 hours and 5 hours to finish.Although if I shed very little, the maximum duration is shortened.

20 min to start, peak at the time and another strong peak at two hours.At 3 hours without any effect already.

It also depends a lot if I put it in belly or back, or before the pump in arms

Hi @jconegar on the back is faster for you?

Before with bolus on the back it was the same as in the arm.Now with the bomb I put it on my back and belly and I do not notice time differences.

In the gut is the fastest, but it is not instantaneous.

My daughter at breakfast takes an hour or more to make it an effect, the days that we get up at the highest we try to wait until it begins to take effect, but it is desperate.

If you are up at dawn, you can upload one more unit of Toujeo to wake up well and sleep calmly ,.,

How do you know the duration?

With continuous glucose meters, it looks very clear.

Start in 10 min even less, max in one hour and a duration of 5h

The continuous monitoring sensors seem against me because I do not find one that I do well ... without being through the sensors as you know the time of effect of the humalog?

As I do not get slow, neither lantus nor anything else, I notice it immediately when I run out of the effect.

You can measure time in time, if you want to know.
@Sherpa41, don't you get basal?
Just fast?Y. Don't you wake up very high?
Have you tried the new ones?Toujeo?

No, but every time they are worse, the NPH was fatal but at least I did something, the lantus and the lesson that I was trying did nothing to me.The new ones that still last longer, I imagine that they would still make me less effect.And I wake up just when the effect of humalog begins to end.Sometimes high and sometimes not.

Try the new ones, that you do not lose anything and you can win a lot if you released from schedules.
