Insulin is administered by the subcutaneous route. Why is it not administered by the oral route? Insulin is a polypeptide so it is susceptible to degradation in GIT, hence it is administered through s/c route to show its effects. Insulin has different types based upon their onset and duration of action. *1) Rapid Acting Insulin:* eg; Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine *2) Short Acting Insulin:* eg; Regular insulin *3) Intermediate Acting Insulin:* eg; NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) *4) Long Acting Insu

Rapid-acting insulin • Humalog → Lispro • Novolog → Aspart • Apidra → Glulisine Short-acting insulin • Humulin R / Novolin R → Regular insulin Intermediate-acting insulin • Humulin N / Novolin N → NPH Long-acting insulin • Lantus → Glargine • Levemir → Detemir Ultra-long acting insulin This is now considered a separate class in modern classifications: • Tresiba → Degludec (duration >42 hours) • Toujeo → Glargine U-300 (longer & flatter than Lantus) Premixed insulin • 70/30 (NPH Regular) • 75/25

el #ejercicio mejora la sensibilidad a la insulina. siempre que use insulina realice glucometrias en ayunas. si hace ejercicio es posible que necesite menos insulina. #SEMANADELAINSULINA #endocrino #endocrinologo #diabetes #diabetestipo2 #diabetestipo1 #glucometria #hipoglucemia #endocrinogustavoparra #bucaramangasantander #santander #colombia #newyork #miami #fortlauderdale #madrid #buenosaires #santiago #foscal #endoriente #lantus #degludec #detemir #basaglar #sanofi #novonordisk #lilly | Endo

💉 TYPES OF INSULIN – Made Easy! 🧠 Remember the order: LAG → Regular → NPH → GD → Degludec 🔴 Rapid-acting (LAG) 👉 Lispro | Aspart | Glulisine ⏱ Acts fast – taken just before meals 🟠 Short-acting 👉 Regular insulin ⚠️ Only insulin used IV (DKA, emergencies) 🟡 Intermediate-acting 👉 NPH insulin ⏳ Moderate duration, has peak 🟢 Long-acting (GD) 👉 Glargine | Detemir ✔️ Basal insulin, no peak 🔵 Ultra-long acting 👉 Degludec ⏳ >42 hours, most stable ⚫ Premixed insulin 👉 30/70, 50/50 ✔️ Conveni
