Possible side effects of using Humalog Mix25 include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), allergic reactions, injection site reactions, itching, and rash. Weight gain and swelling of the hands and feet may also occur. Severe hypoglycemia can be life-threatening, and immediate medical attention should be sought if symptoms of serious low blood sugar occur.
