Humulin R and Apidra are both insulin medications used to manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes, but they differ in their formulation and action. Humulin R is a regular (short-acting) insulin that starts working within 30 minutes and lasts for about 6 to 8 hours. In contrast, Apidra is a rapid-acting insulin that begins to work within 15 minutes and has a shorter duration of action, typically lasting about 2 to 4 hours. Therefore, while they serve a similar purpose, their pharmacokinetics and timing of action are distinct.
