Lyumjev is a rapid-acting insulin used to help control blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes. It works by helping your body use sugar from food for energy and preventing the liver from making too much sugar. You can take it as an injection under the skin at the start of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting to eat, with a typical starting dose being individualized based on your needs, and a maximum of 60 units per injection. It's important to know that you should not use Lyumjev if you are having low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Additionally, if you are switching from another type of insulin, you may need to adjust your dose to avoid complications.
