Living a Healthy, Active Life With Diabetes
"I've worked with my health care team to find the right treatment for me.
I take a long-acting insulin and I also use NovoLog®
to help me manage my diabetes." —Charlie Kimball,

NovoLog® is a fast-acting mealtime insulin
Have you or someone in your family been prescribed NovoLog® to help control diabetes?
Maybe you have had diabetes for a while, or maybe someone in your family has been
diagnosed with diabetes recently. Either way, it's important to know that diabetes
is no one's fault. Diabetes changes over time, so your diabetes care plan needs
to change too. The important thing is to work with your doctor and diabetes care
team to create a care plan that works best for you.
NovoLog® is a safe and effective, fast-acting, mealtime insulin. It can help you
maintain control of your diabetes and get you to your blood sugar goal. It has been
used by millions of patients since 2000. In fact, it is the #1-selling fast-acting
insulin in the world.*
NovoLog® imitates the body's own insulin release after eating, giving you effective
blood sugar control after meals. This may help you get closer to your target blood
sugar goal.

About Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.
With type 2 diabetes, there isnʼt enough of a hormone called insulin
(or the body cannot use enough of the insulin) to control blood sugar.
Adults and type 2 diabetes
> Back
Itʼs important for adults with type 2 diabetes to eat healthy foods and to get lots
of exercise. One of the treatments for type 2 diabetes may include taking insulin
regularly. A rapid or fast-acting insulin analog,
such as NovoLog®, offers a dosing schedule that can be adjusted around meals, to
fit into your daily routine.
Caring for someone with type 2 diabetes
> Back
Diabetes management includes monitoring blood sugar levels, eating healthy meals,
exercising, and reducing habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. This means
that proper diabetes management may also benefit your overall health and reduce
your risk for other health issues.

Type 1 diabetes represents from 5% to 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Most
often, children, teenagers, and young adults are the people who are diagnosed with
type 1 diabetes. In this form of the condition, the bodyʼs own immune system mistakenly
attacks the cells that produce a hormone called insulin. When there is not enough
insulin, sugar in the blood cannot be used by the body as fuel. Treating type 1
diabetes calls for a diabetes medicine to help control your blood sugar.
Caring for children with type 1 diabetes
> Back
When a child is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, the support of the whole family
can be important. A childʼs diet, energy level, and even their feelings can be affected
by diabetes. Because of this, their loved ones may choose to eat healthier or exercise
more often—which can benefit the whole family. The family can also benefit from
learning together about type 1 diabetes and how it may be treated.
Adults and type 1 diabetes
> Back
Treatment for type 1 diabetes includes regularly taking diabetes medicines, such
as NovoLog® and a long-acting insulin, to help control blood sugar. Itʼs also important
for people with type 1 diabetes to eat healthy foods and get plenty of exercise.
Supporting adults with type 1 diabetes
> Back
Helping a loved one manage diabetes means helping them monitor blood sugar levels,
eat healthy meals, exercise regularly, and reduce bad habits such as smoking. As
a caregiver, you should get to know all you can about diabetes and how it is properly
managed. You should also get to know how diabetes affects the person you care for.
