About This Medication

# Sanofi Patient Connection Patient Guide: How to Get Admelog (insulin lispro) at Low or No Cost Admelog (insulin lispro) is a fast-acting insulin used to control blood sugar levels in adults and children with diabetes. The **Sanofi Patient Connection** program, run by **Sanofi**, provides this medication at no cost to eligible uninsured or underinsured patients who meet income and other criteria. ## About Admelog (insulin lispro) **Admelog** is a brand of insulin lispro, a rapid-acting insulin analog that helps manage diabetes by mimicking the body's natural insulin response to meals. It starts working in about 15 minutes, peaks in 1-2 hours, and lasts 3-5 hours, making it ideal for mealtime dosing. It's injected under the skin and comes in vials or cartridges for use with pens. Always follow your doctor's instructions for dosing, storage (refrigerate unopened vials), and monitoring blood sugar to avoid lows or highs. This guide focuses on accessing it affordably through patient assistance—not medical advice. ## Who Qualifies for Sanofi Patient Connection?
