Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, insulin can be allergic and can cause allergic reaction.
Novolog is an insulin.
Metformin and glimepiride are not insulin. They are oral hypoglycemia agent.
Victoza is also not insulin.
Losartan and HCTZ are unlikely to cause allergic skin reaction.
So you might be having skin reaction due to Novolog.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
