The even and odds rule: to remember the onset, peak, and duration of intermediate-acting insulin think evens---2, 12, and 24 hrs. To remember short acting insulin, thinks odds--- 1, 3 and 5 hrs. These times are not exact but they are a great memory booster when you need to think fast
Every book has different peak times, really very frustrating, i suggest finding out which book you will be tested from and learn those, cuz next teacher you have will have different peak times in her head....i had them memorized then just gave up, its all over the board..

Are there any type of mnemonic to learning onset and peak for the different insulins as well as how to draw them up
