High Blood Sugar May Trigger Worse Outcomes In Patients With Sars-cov-2

Diabetes mellitus (DM) occurs when the body either produces insufficient amounts of insulin (type 1 diabetes), or the body build resistance to insulin due to overuse (type 2 diabetes). In this NCLEX review, Mike Linares RN reviews insulin types, memory tricks on how to remember insulin peak times, onset, and duration of:

Rapid acting insulin: Lispro, Aspart, Glulisine (brand names: Humalog, Novolog, Apidra)

Short acting insulin: Regular Insulin (Humulin, Acrapid, Novolin)

Intermediate acting insulin: NPH, Lente Long acting insulin: Glargine insulin, Detemir insulin (brand names: Lantus, Levemir)
