What is the time frame when you administer regular insulin or nph?
Regular insulin is typically administered 30 minutes before meals to allow for onset of action, which generally begins within 30 minutes and peaks in 2 to 3 hours. NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin that usually takes effect within 1 to 2 hours, peaks at about 4 to 6 hours, and has a duration of action of around 10 to 16 hours. Both insulins should be timed according to the patient's meal schedule and individual blood glucose needs.
Which insulins are in suspensions?
Insulins that come in suspension form include NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin and certain mixtures like 70/30, which contains 70% NPH and 30% regular insulin. These suspensions require gentle mixing before injection to ensure proper dosing, as the insulin particles can settle over time. Other insulin formulations, such as long-acting insulins like insulin glargine or insulin detemir, are typically not in suspension form.
What are the names of regular insulin?
There are several different names for regular insulin, depending on the maker. The one constant is that all of them contain the letter "R" for "regular," in their name.
