Event Description

(b)(4). This solicited case, reported by a consumer via a patient support program (psp), concerned a (b)(6) pediatric male patient of an unknown origin. Medical history was unknown. Concomitant medication included insulin glargine for diabetes. The patient received insulin lispro (rdna origin) (humalog), via a device humapen ergo ii and humapen luxura half dose (hd), subcutaneously for the treatment of diabetes mellitus beginning on unknown date in 2015 (also reported as 2014).

His mother stated that he needed dose correction using half units humapen ergo ii as he was young and whole units are too much for him. On an unknown date, he was administered 1 iu of insulin lispro as a corrective dose and he experienced sever hypoglycemia. It was reported that humapen ergo ii got impaired after 10 days as its screw got stuck (lot number unknown, (b)(4)).

On (b)(6) 2021, as the cartridge holder was broken and displaced from its place, and screw got attached strictly to the humapen. Then he started taking insulin lispro using syringes, but he was suffering from low blood glucose levels and bluish color at site of injection. It was reported that syringes were the worst way to take insulin as it was very painful, and dose cannot be adjusted other than 1 unit. It was also reported that she covered the additional dose with food or honey for him, as in case of taking 1 unit without covering the rest of dose with food he would suffer from low blood glucose levels and blood glucose level reaches 30 mg/dl. The event of second episode of blood glucose decreased was considered as serious by the company due to its medical significance. He had not recovered from the events of injection site bruising, blood glucose increased and first episode of blood glucose decreased and incorrect dose administered.
