Rapid=Analogue

Short=Regular

Regular=NPH

Long...would be your Lantus/Glargine(the most common) or Levmir/Determir

Humulin R=Regular

Humulin N=NPH

If you start with that, you got about half of what you're asking (not including the mixes)...Breaking the learning up into chunks like that makes it easier for me, maybe for you too? Anything additional to that is just further breakdown of the four general types I listed above...and then the mixed insulins
