User Comments about Humalog

28 Dec 2015	I've been using Humalog approximately 10 years and I have recently begun to experience pain in my arms and hands. At times it feels like a current running through my arms and is much worse at night. —Posted by Anonymous Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...

08 Jun 2014	Humalog replaced Lantus which I could not tolerate at all. I have gained weight and cannot lose it despite vigorous exercise and sensible diet. I often experience over-all body ache and pain in my shoulders, arms and hands at night.
