    Onset (hr) Peak effect (hr) Duration (hr) Appearance When given meals should occur when insulin is at peak effect Compatibility Special Considerations

    NPH

    NPH *Regular (concentrate d) insulin U500 should not be given IV

    Regular, HumALOG, NovOLG, Apidra

    None MUST NOT BE MIXED WITH ANY OTHER INSULIN OR SOLUTION Injection site pain more likely since Lantus is made to precipitate in the SQ tissue.

    Best mimics the bodys release of pre-meal insulin when given at right time. Hypoglycemia less likely than with Regular due to timing of insulin administration More likely to occlude continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion CSII cannula than Regular Insulin Can be used for CS II (insulin pump)
