Summary: On this podcast episode, I discuss the pharmacology, adverse effects, and drug interactions of insulin lispro (Humalog).<br> <br> <br> <br> I spend some time on this podcast episode discussing carb ratios and sliding scale insulin when using insulin lispro. <br> <br> <br> <br> Potassium is critical to monitor in diabetic ketoacidosis as insulin therapy can cause significant hypokalemia. <br> <br> <br> <br> Sliding-scale insulin lispro is discouraged in the overwhelming majority of situations. Ideally, we should be more proactive about insulin administration to reduce the risk of hyperglycemia spikes.
