NURSES! Anyone know the insulin type 1 diabetes medications, by heart?

Published

HI everyone,

I am trying to google but having trouble. Anyone know the complete insulin type 1 medications by heart? such as the short acting, long acting.... etc.. humalog... etc?? I really want to know all of the short acting, intermediate and long acting insulin medication names and their peak and duration. I want to know when I can give it, for example, short acting for 15-30 minutes peak of time,... therefore I have to give the meal 15-30 minutes after I give the insulin. Please help! Thank you! :redpinkhe

Just look them up in what ever you use as a drug guide and make your own cheat sheet. Most nursing edu books have an outline, just look it up too.
