How NovoLog® works
NovoLog® is a rapid-acting insulin analog. It is called a insulin analog because the chemical components of insulin have been slightly modified, which helps the insulin work faster. NovoLog® is similar to the natural insulin that the body makes after meals in people without diabetes (this is called natural or physiologic action).
NovoLog® works faster at mealtime than regular human insulin, so you may take it and then eat within 5 to 10 minutes. With regular human insulin, you have to wait 30 minutes before you eat.
Because NovoLog® imitates the body's own insulin release after eating, you'll have effective blood glucose control after meals, which may help you get closer to your target blood glucose levels.
