Study Notes
Insulin Types and Actions
- Ultra-rapid acting insulins: Faster onset and shorter duration of action.
- Fiasp (insulin aspart): Onset ~5-10 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Formulated with niacinamide for faster absorption. Administered at mealtime or within 20 minutes of meal
- Lyumjev (insulin lispro-aabc): Onset ~15 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Administered at mealtime or within 20 minutes of meal
- Rapid acting insulins: Faster onset and shorter duration than intermediate insulins.
- Admelog (insulin lispro): Onset 15-30 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Administered 15 minutes before meals, or immediately after.
- Humalog (insulin lispro): Onset 15-30 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Administered 15 minutes before meals, or immediately after.
- NovoLog (insulin aspart): Onset 10-20 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Administered 5-10 minutes before meals.
- Apidra (insulin glulisine): Onset 20 minutes, duration 3-5 hours. Administered within 15 minutes before meals, or within 20 minutes after starting a meal.
Short-acting insulins (Regular insulin):
- Humulin R U-100 (regular insulin): Onset 30 minutes, duration 8 hours. Administered 30 minutes prior to meals.
- Novolin R U-100 (regular insulin): Onset 30 minutes, duration 8 hours. Administered 30 minutes prior to meals.
- Afrezza (inhalation): Onset 12-20 minutes, duration 2.5-3 hours. Inhaled at mealtime
- Humulin R U-500 (concentrated regular insulin): Onset 30 minutes; duration ~21 hours. Higher concentration leads to longer duration.
Intermediate-acting insulins:
- Humulin N: Onset 1.5 hours, Duration 12-24 hours. Administered once or twice daily; Twice daily dosing is more common.
- Novolin N: Onset 1.5 hours, Duration 12-24 hours. Administered once or twice daily; Twice daily dosing is more common.
Long-acting insulins:
- Lantus (insulin glargine): Onset 1.5 hours, Duration ~24 hours. Administered once daily, or twice daily in some cases.
- Basaglar (insulin glargine): Onset 1.5 hours, Duration ~24 hours. Administered once daily, or twice daily in some cases.
- Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn): Onset 1.5 hours, Duration ~24 hours. Administered once daily.
- Rezvoglar (Insulin glargine-aglr): Onset 1.5 hours, Duration ~24 hours. Administered once daily.
- Toujeo (insulin glargine): Onset ~1 hour, Duration 24-36 hours. Administered once daily.
Ultra-long-acting insulin:
- Tresiba (insulin degludec): Onset 1.5 hours, Duration 36-42 hours. Administered once daily.
