Adverse Reaction To Lyspro Insulin

A myT1Dteam Member asked a question 💭
Massachusetts

Have others experienced a sensitivity or allergy to Lyspro insulin with pain at injection site? I had severe, searing pain at the insertion site each time my pump gave an insulin bolus. Been using Humalog for 30 years, just switched to Lyspro this January. Had to stop using it due to pain and inflammation at the insertion site.

A myT1Dteam Member

Yes, I had problems with Lyspro as well and as of January my insurance is no longer covering Humalog. My doctor got me a PA to hold me until my next appointment. I plan to discuss this with him then.
