Mechanism of action

Insulin lispro is a recombinant human insulin analog with a rapid onset of action, designed to mimic the body's natural insulin response to meals. It binds to insulin receptors on muscle and adipose tissue, promoting glucose uptake and storage while suppressing hepatic glucose production. The 6-day reservoir formulation extends the duration of action compared to standard insulin lispro, allowing for less frequent dosing.
