The peak action for Regular (short-acting) insulin is 2 to 3 hours after subcutaneous administration. The duration of Regular (short-acting) insulin is only 3 to 6 hours. Peak action occurs 2 to 3 hours after the insulin is administered. Subcutaneously administered Regular (short-acting) insulin has an onset of action of 30 to 60 minutes after injection. The effectiveness of subcutaneously administered, short-acting insulin cannot be assessed immediately after administration. Thirty minutes corresponds to the onset of action for Regular (short-acting) insulin.
