The diabetes educator would teach a patient that different types of insulin have different onsets of action. Arrange these types of insulin in order of the onset starting with the quickest onset
1. Insulin detemir (Levemir)
2. Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
3. Insulin lispro (Humalog)
4. Regular insulin (Humulin R)
5. Insulin isophane (NPH)
3,2,4,5,1
Global Rationale: Insulin lispro (Humalog) has an onset of 5–15 minutes. Insulin glulisine (Apidra) has an onset of 15–30 minutes. Regular insulin (Humulin R) has an onset of 30–60 minutes. Insulin isophane (NPH) has an onset of 1–2 hours. Insulin detemir (Levemir) has an onset that is gradual over 24 hours.
