Answer #1

Insulin lispro

It is rapid acting
Onset is within 15 - 20 minutes
Peak at 30 - 90 minutes
Duration of action is 3 - 4 hours
Supplied at neutral pH

Insulin Glargine

It is long acting
Onset is within 4 - 6 hours
It's doesn't show any peak of action
Duration of action is 15 - 24 hour
Supplied at pH of 4 therefore it should not be mixed with any other prepratprep of insulin.

Part 1. The insulin pump is a device that delivers insulin to a diabetic patient at regular intervals. It presumably regulates insulin better than standard injections. However, data to establish this point are few, especially in children. The following study was set up to assess the effect of use of the insulin pump on HbgA1c, which is a long-term marker of compliance with insulin protocols. In general, a normal range for HgbA1c is <7%. Data were collected on 256 diabetic...
