Proinsulin
What are the three ways one could take insulin?
- Syringes
- Pen needles
- Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII)
What are the two types of pancreatic functions that’s release insulin?
Basal (Long term)
Bolus (Fast term)
What is the Onset of Insulin Aspart (NovoRapid) or biosimilars: Trurapi®Kirsty®)
9-20 minutes
What is the onset of insulin glulisine (s)
9-20 minutes
What is the onset of Insulin lispro (Humalog® U-100 & U-200 and biosimilar: Admelog® U- 100)
10-15 minutes
What is the onset of Faster-acting insulin aspart (Fiasp®)
4 minutes
What is the onset of insulin regular (humulin-R Novolin ge Toronto)
30 minutes
What is the onset of Insulin regular U-500 (Entuzity® (U-500)
15 minutes
When should Insulin regular (Humulin®-R, Novolin® ge Toronto, Hypurin R) be administered?
30-45 minutes prior to meal time to cover glucose excursions
When are the RAIA administered?
0-15 minutes prior to meals.
What is an advantage of RAIA vs short acting insulins?
More closely mimic endogenous insulin release
What are the advantages of RAIA’s?
- Fasteronset
- Quickerpeak
- Shorter duration of action
Convenience and decrease hypoglycemia risk
What is the importance of the Insulin Lispro as compared to other products?
Has a higher concentration of insulin, but the units that you are injecting on the dose knob will be the same as the 100 units/ml and 200 units/ml (The injections quantities will be different, but the concentration be the same)
