HumulinHumulin Insulin is different from insulin that is derived from animal sources. Humulin is found to be structurally identical to the insulin which is produced in the human body's pancreas. If your doctor is switching you from an animal-source insulin to Humulin, chances are your dosage will be changed as well.
Six Formulations of Humulin Insulin
Humulin is a trademark owned by Eli Lilly and Company. Their human insulin comes in six available formulations. Your doctor will prescribe one he or she thinks will work best for you based upon your individual needs. However, you should always verify that the insulin you receive matches the one your doctor prescribed.
It is advised that you store your insulin in the refrigerator. If that option is not available to you, you should try to ensure your insulin is not subjected to temperatures above 86° F. You should also keep your insulin away from light. It's vital that you never use insulin that has been frozen or has expired.
