NO

BUT if your sugar was already rising due to something else at the time of injection, it can certainly continue to go higher even after the injection

However, you can be assured as high as it goes it would have been "significantly higher" without the insulin injections

If your sugar remains too high after injecting the Humalog it needs to be increased to match what you are eating

If your fasting numbers are high out of range after injecting the Lantus then likewise, the dosage needs to be adjusted

No, Lantus and Humalog should not raise your blood sugar after injecting them.

- Lantus (Insulin glargine): This is a long-acting insulin designed to provide a steady level of insulin over 24 hours. It helps to maintain stable blood glucose levels rather than causing spikes.

- Humalog (Insulin lispro): This is a Show Full Answer

No, Lantus and Humalog should not raise your blood sugar after injecting them.

- Lantus (Insulin glargine): This is a long-acting insulin designed to provide a steady level of insulin over 24 hours. It helps to maintain stable blood glucose levels rather than causing spikes.

- Humalog (Insulin lispro): This is a rapid-acting insulin that works quickly to lower blood glucose levels after meals.

Both insulins are intended to help manage blood sugar levels, not raise them. If you experience unexpected increases in blood sugar, consult your healthcare provider.
