Answer to Question 1

The forms of insulin that are commercially available differ by their onset of action, timing of peak activity, and duration of effects. Insulin preparations vary in how they are classified: they may be rapid acting (lispro, aspart, glulisine, and inhaled insulin), short acting (regular), intermediate acting (NPH), or long acting (glargine, detemir), thereby allowing substantial flexibility in establishing a suitable insulin regimen. The rapid- and short-acting insulins are typically used at mealtimes, whereas the intermediate- and long-acting insulins provide basal insulin for the periods between meals and during the night. Mixtures of several types of insulin can produce greater glycemic control than any one type alone. Some premixed formulations are also available.

Answer to Question 2

B

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
