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.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
