NPH insulin is cloudy and has an onset of 1–3 hours. Its peak is 6–8 hours and its duration is up to 24 hours. [9]It has an intermediate duration of action, meaning longer than that of regular and rapid-acting insulin, and shorter than long acting insulins (ultralente, glargine or detemir).
This basal rate of insulin action is generally achieved via the use of an intermediate-acting insulin (such as NPH) or a long-acting insulin analog. In type 1 diabetics, it may also be achieved via continuous infusion of rapid-acting insulin using an insulin pump. Approximately half of a person's daily insulin requirement is administered as a ...
- Intermediate acting (i.e NPH insulin) with onset in 2 hours and duration of about 14 hrs. - Long acting (i.e. detemir) with onset in 1 hr. and duration of about 24 hrs. - Premixed which are usually combinations of short and long acting insulin. Insulin is usually taken several times per day in patients who require it to control their diabetes ...
NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin with delayed absorption after subcutaneous injection, used for basal insulin support in diabetes type 1 and type 2. NPH insulins are suspensions that require shaking for reconstitution prior to injection. Many people reported problems when being switched to intermediate ...
Ultralente insulin was a long-acting form of insulin. It has an onset of 4 to 6 hours, a peak of 14 to 24 hours, and a duration of 28 to 36 hours. [ 1 ] Ultralente insulin, along with lente insulin , were discontinued in the US by manufacturers in the mid-2000s.
An insulin pump can be programmed to infuse a steady amount of rapid-acting insulin under the skin. This steady infusion is termed the basal rate and is designed to supply the background insulin needs. Each time the patient eats, he or she must press a button on the pump to deliver a specified dose of insulin to cover that meal.
The long-acting insulin class, which includes insulin glargine, do not appear much better than neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, [13] but do have a greater cost, making them, as of 2010, not cost effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. [14]
In Treatment is an American HBO drama television series developed by Rodrigo Garcia based on the Israeli series BeTipul created by Hagai Levi.
