Humalog is a short-acting type of insulin. Insulin helps to control blood sugar levels in diabetes mellitus, including diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2.

There are a number of different types of insulin. For example, some are long-acting and some are short-acting, according to the ADA. Short-acting insulins are typically taken at meal times.

Insulin was first discovered in 1921 by orthopedic surgeon Frederick Banting and medical student Charles Best, from the University of Toronto.
