Lyumjev is not covered by my insurance, is not approved for use in the tSlim pumps, and has never been mentioned by any of my Doctors. I would like to give it a try, but unless insurance starts covering it as it does Novolog ($0 co-pay), I won’t be able to afford switching to it.
I use fiasp. My insurance covers novolog/fiasp, not humalog/lyumjev.
used only 1 vial, burning required return to novolog
Currently use it in pump. I dilute it a bit with Humalog. (80-20) Sometimes it stings and most times it doesn’t. It seems to vary randomly based on where the infusion site is. Haven’t figured that out. But it starts working much faster, which I like.
Went back to MDI about six months ago. Researched Lyumjev and decided to try. Love it. No more waiting before meals. Works rapidly and otherwise same as humalog. Donāt think comes in cartridges for the smart pens.
I’ve never used Lyumjev, but I do use another variant of Insulin Lispro, called Apidra.
I have never used Lyumjev, but I do use a different variation of Insulin Lispro, called Apidra.
Humalog & Lyumjev is Lispro
Apidra is glulisine
Novolog & FIASP is aspart
Apologies, Dave Akers. You ARE, of course, correct, sir. Apidra IS Insulin Glulisine.
Thanks to
the new PBM working with Express Scripts won’t let me continue with FIASP so my endo switched me to Lyumjev. have 4 pens of FIASP left and then it’s Lyumjev time so we’ll see how it goes. years ago they switched me to humalog and wasn’t thrilled with that so we’ll see what happens.
My doctor gave me free samples. I donāt use it in my pump as it stings but I do inject it occasionally when Iām really high and need to lower blood sugar quickly
I like the additional speed of Lyumjev but it burns going in sometimes. Doc says it is the Ph of the product? I have discovered I can usually change the site location and it will work without burning. I am fairly new to it and still learning it and its curve of activity. I do like the speed of lyumjev in bolusing for meals but am still working on basal adjustments.
Before I tried it, Iād like to know why it causes stinging. I like to stay with tried and true and let the kinks get worked out before trying new stuff.
On a Pump and have an allergy to Infused Humalog
I liked the control, but I hated the burning with each pump bolus. It is also not on my Medicare Part D formulary.
Totally agree, Bob. My Endo gave me a sample to try. Bolis burni g was unacceptable, and not on part D was a no start.
Lyumjev is the best pump insulin Iāve used in 28 years using a pump. The consistency, predictability, and effectiveness has been the best ever.
Lyumjev is not the same as other insulin lispro insulins at all. Iāve used them all and it consistent and predictable unlike all other faster acting lispro insulin thatās for me. The staining is caused by a vasodilator that in given locations and larger doses can cause a pain. The pain can be remediated by avoiding specific locations, smaller boluses, and, the simple way, putting pressure on the site or rubbing as bolus is delivered.
Never tried Lyumjev, tried FIASP, didnāt work as marketed⦠tried inhaled⦠havenāt left!
I asked my endo about it in January and he said that it doesn’t work as fast as claimed, but he’s also not diabetic. I currently use Humalog and it’s okay for meals although sometimes seems to last too long and I end up going low 3+ hours later. It also takes awhile to correct highs. I might ask about it again in July. Lilly insulins are preferred by my insurance and Lyumjev is covered the same as Humalog.
I accidentally marked yes, when it should have been no.
No
I tried Lyumjev because it was supposed to work faster than other insulins, but it did not work any faster, so I went back to Apidra.
I use it when I take a pump break.
I’m MDI. Ordered one pen to give it a try. Didn’t find that it worked any faster than Humalog.
Yes, I use Lyumjev in a pump and find it does work faster. I never felt the burning that others mention. I tried apidra and fiasp and found they did not last in the pump. Lyumjev seems much better. I used Novolog before.
I have a sample of Lyumjev but it caused site reactions when used in the pump. I use the vial for manual injections during high BGs. It works well. Wish my skin could tolerate it in the pump.
Iām having a problem dropping to low with dexcom/tandem control in on so went from novolog to this to see if a different formulary would help.
