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.
