"Going back to the author's point 2 - Humalog begins working in 5 minutes, and point 3 - Humalog runs its full course in 90 minutes." -- NEH
I think that you are confusing different metrics. Humalog STARTS acting reasonably quick, but I was discussing how quickly the insulin PEAKS (i.e. reaches maximum effectiveness). Humalog peaks between 30 minutes to 90 minutes after injection (usually more like 45 minutes to 60 minutes after injection). As for running its FULL course, it takes much more than 90 minutes for Humalog to run its full course -- it barely peaks by then. Humalog lingers in the body for some time and as much as 60% of its blood sugar lowering action can carry on past 3 hours from injection, when the meal is no longer being digested and the patient doesn't need it.
