Study Notes
Insulin Classification
- Long-Acting Insulin includes Levemir (Detemir), Lantus (Glargine), Basaglar (Glargine), Toujeo (Glargine U-300), and Tresiba (Degludec U-100, U-200).
- Ultra-Long Acting Insulin is represented by Toujeo (Glargine U-300) and Degludec (U-100, U-200).
- Intermediate Acting Insulin consists of NPH (Novolin N, Humulin N) and Regular U-500 (Humulin R 500).
- Short Acting Insulin is primarily Regular (Novolin R, Humulin R).
- Rapid Acting Insulin includes Aspart (Novolog), Lispro (Humalog), and Glulisine (Apidra).
- Ultra-Rapid Acting Insulin features Aspart (Fiasp) and Humanis (Afreeza).
Insulin Dosage & Units
- Typical Insulin Dose is U-100.
- Lispro (Humalog) is available in U-100 and U-200.
- Regular Insulin (Humulin) can be found in U-100 and U-500.
- Glargine (Toujeo) is available in U-300.
- Degludec (Tresiba) comes in both U-100 and U-200 formats.
Patient Considerations
- Higher dose insulin is prescribed for patients with more resistant diabetes.
Insulin Characteristics
- Cloudy Insulins include NPH (Humulin N, Novolin N).
- Over-the-Counter (OTC) Availability includes Regular (Humulin R, Novolin R) and NPH (Humulin N, Novolin N).
- Basal Insulins consist of NPH, Detemir, Glargine U-100, and Degludec U-200. They target fasting plasma glucose (FPG).
- Hypoglycemia Risk is highest with NPH among basal insulins, while Regular (Humulin R, Novolin R) has the highest risk among bolus insulins.
Insulin Targeting
- Bolus Insulin refers to Regular (Humulin R, Novolin R), rapid acting (Novolog, Humalog, Apidra), and ultra-rapid (Fiasp, Afreeza). They target postprandial glucose (PPG).
