I wouldn't say so, if you want fast acting insulin use novorapid, actrapid is good for long lasting carbohydrates eg. bread.

Is Regular Insulin and NPH insulin the same thing?
NPH is a long acting insulin that peaks 8 hours after administration. Regular insulin is fast acting that peaks 30 minutes after administration. Regular insulin should be taken before meals.
Can regular insulin and nph be mixed together?
Yes, regular insulin and NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin can be mixed in the same syringe. This combination is commonly referred to as "mixed insulin" and is used for certain insulin therapy regimens. Regular insulin is a short-acting insulin, while NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin. It's important to follow proper mixing techniques to ensure the effectiveness of the insulin and to avoid contamination. Here are general steps for mixing regular insulin and NPH insulin in the same syringe: Wash your hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather supplies: Collect the vials of regular insulin and NPH insulin, a syringe, and alcohol swabs. Roll the NPH insulin vial: Gently roll the NPH insulin vial between your palms to ensure uniform suspension. Clean the rubber stoppers: Wipe the rubber stoppers of both insulin vials with alcohol swabs. Draw up air into the syringe: Draw air into the syringe equal to the dose of NPH insulin needed. Inject air into the NPH insulin vial: Insert the needle into the NPH insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up NPH insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of NPH insulin. Inject air into the regular insulin vial: Insert the needle into the regular insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up regular insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of regular insulin. Check for air bubbles: Hold the syringe upright and tap it to dislodge any air bubbles. Push the plunger slightly to remove any air. Verify the dose: Double-check that you have the correct total dose in the syringe. Administer the injection: Administer the injection as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the insulin manufacturer. If you are unsure about the proper technique for mixing insulin or have any concerns, consult with your healthcare team for guidance.
Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Why cant you mix insulin into food instead of injecting?
If you put insulin into food it would not have the same effect. You see, insulin needs to be in the blood stream. That is why you have to inject it with a syringe.
What animal gives us insulin?

What is Chromax?
Chromax is the same as Chromium, which is an essential mineral that acts as a cofactor of insulin, enhancing glucose transport and promoting healthy blood sugar levels. As a cofactor of insulin, the actions of chromium are all consistent with an enhancement in insulin sensitivity.

Is insulin an element?
No, insulin is not an element. To be an element, a substance must have all the same type of atom. Once it has this, it can go on the Periodic Table. So, as insulin has many different types of atom in it, it's not an element.

Administer 40 units of Insulin U-100 How many ml?
This is not always the same! Most insulin sold for humans is concentrated at 100 units per ml (U100 insulin). But some insulin is not. In the case of U100 insulin, however, 1 cc equals 1ml equals 100 units so 40 units equals 0.4ml
