Minimal or no physical activity
Race/ethnicity (African American, Hispanic/latino Americans, native Americans, & some Asian Americans)
When insulin first begins to act in the body
Onset
When the insulin is exerting maximum action
Peak
The length of time the insulin remains in effect
Duration
Has a slower and more even release into the bloodstream; therefore, it does not have a “peak action”
Peakless
Glargine
Selected drugs that decrease the effect (more insulin may be required)
Contraceptives
Oral corticosteroids
Nicotine
Drugs that increase the effect (less insulin may be required)
Beta blocking drugs
Salicylates
Insulin most common for gestational diabetes
