Side A ------ Side B
Rapid Acting Insulins ------ Lispro= humalog
Aspart= novolog
Rapid Acting Insulin
Onset of action
peak action
duration of action ------ onset= 5-15 minutes for both
peak= lispro: 1 hr; aspart: 40-50 minutes
duration= lispro: 3hr; aspart: 4-6 hr
Time for adverse reaction
 Rapid Acting Insulin

 ------ Midmorning; trembling and weakness
Characteristics of 
Rapid Acting Insulin ------ pt should eat within 5-15 minutes after injection; its also used in insulin pumps 
Short acting Insulin ------ Regular Insulin (Humalin R, Novolin R, Iletin II Regular)
Short Acting Insulin
Onset of action
peak action
duration of action ------ onset= 30-60 mins
peak= 2-3 hr
duration= 4-6 hr
Time of Adverse Reaction
Short Acting Insulin ------ Midmorning
Midafternoon= weakness and fatigue
Characteristics of short Acting insulin ------ its a clear solution given 20-30 minutes before meals, can be given alone or with other insulins.
Intermediate Acting Insulin ------ NPH (isophane)
Intermediate Acting Insulin
Onset of action
peak action
duration of action ------ onset= 2-4 hr
peak= 6-12 hr
duration= 16-20 hr
Time for adverse Reactions
intermediate Acting Insulin ------ Early evening= wekaness and fatigue
Characteristics of Intermediate Acting Insulin ------ white and clloudy solution, and can be given after meals
Long acting Insulin ------ Glargine(Lantus)
Long Acting Insulin
Onset of action
peak action
duration of action ------ Onset= 1 hr
Peak= Continous no Peak
duration= 24 hr
Characterisitcs for long acting insulin ------ maintains blood glcose levels regardless of meals, CANNOT BE MIXED WITH OTHER INSULIN. This is given at bedtime, hours of sleep (hs)
the action of all insulins ------ to reduce blood glucose levels by increasing glucose tranport to cell membranes; it also enhances the conversion of glucose to glycogen.
Education for pts taking Insulins ------ rotate sites for injections to prevent lipohypertrophy, or fibropatty masses at injection sites.  Only regular insulin can be given IV, THE REST CAN ALL BE GIVEN SQ
WHAT HERBS INCREASES BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS THAT HAVE INTERACTIONS ------ BEE POLLEN, GINKO BILOBA, GLUCOSAMINES
WHAT HERBS DECREASES BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS THAT HAVE INTERACTIONS ------ BASIL, BAY LEAF, CHROMIUM, ECHINACCA, GARLIC, GINSENG
