Answer to Question 1

Intermediate, evening, and long-acting insulins lower blood sugar during the night. To avoid hypoglycemic episodes during sleep, or during the night, a balanced small snack is given.

Answer to Question 2

Long-acting insulins cannot be given IV. They contain additives to extend the action.
