Regular insulin is generally basal and bolus i.e a basal rate that runs 24 hours and a bolus that deals purely with carbs eaten. sliding scale is a programme where a fast acting insulin is released at a rate per hour constantly and increased only when carbs are injested. Generally sliding scale is used during a surgical proceedure when you are starved. It ensures your body gets the correct background insulin when no bolus is required.

Difference between spandex and sliding shorts?

Yes, there is a difference. Regular compression shorts are good for comfort and moisture management. Neoprene gives much more compression for muscles with the goal being reducing fatigue and retains heat better keeping muscles warmer. Recurrent muscles strains such as groin or hamstring will benefit more from the neoprene.


What is the difference between static friction and sliding friction?

Sliding friction is always less than the static friction by small amount.


Which would you rather have a sliding door or a regular door?

I would rather have a sliding door. A sliding door offers unparalleled convenience and efficiency. Sliding glass doors are also better because they are easier to lock from the inside and you can see out of them because they double as a window.


What are different forms of friction?

Static friction and sliding friction. Static friction is the force that stops a mass from sliding and sliding friction is the force that slows down an object that is already sliding. Static friction is stronger than sliding friction, and this difference is reflected in different coefficients of friction for sliding and static friction for a given surface.

What is the relationship between mass and force of sliding friction?

they are directly proportional, the greater the mass, the greater the sliding friction
