• Insulin aspart (NovoRaipd)
• Biphasic insulin aspart (NovoMix 30)
• Insulin lispro (Humalog)
• Insulin regular [Humulin-R, Novolin]
• Insulin glargine U-100 (Lantus)
• Insulin lispro/lispro protamine
• Insulin detemir (Levemir)
• Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
• Novolin 30/70, 40/60, 50/50
• Insulin neutral protamine Hagedorn (Humulin-N, Novolin)

Answer 10

• Insulin aspart (NovoRaipd) - rapid
• Biphasic insulin aspart (NovoMix 30) - analogue
• Insulin lispro (Humalog) - rapid
• Insulin regular [Humulin-R, Novolin] - short
• Insulin glargine U-100 (Lantus) - long
• Insulin lispro/lispro protamine - analogue
• Insulin detemir (Levemir) - long
• Insulin glulisine (Apidra) - rapid
• Novolin 30/70, 40/60, 50/50 - NPH
• Insulin neutral protamine Hagedorn (Humulin-N, Novolin) - intermediate
