D A basal insulin should be initiated first to promote glycemic control throughout the day

What type of insulin is given in postprandial phase?

Short-acting insulin

Long-acting: should first induce basal phase to last the whole day

What electrolyte abnormality may be expected among patients on continuous intravenous insulin infusion? A. Hyponatremia B. Hypokalemia C. Hypocalcemia D. Hypomagnesemia

B Physiologically, remember that insulin causes potassium to shift intracellularly, thereby causing transient hypokalemia. Hence, it is one of the treatments used in treating severe hyperkalemia. “Insulin is the key to the cell, K+ goes in once the door is open.”

A patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus will not be allowed to eat breakfast on the morning of his eye surgery. He is maintained on insulin glargine 30 units once a day at bedtime and insulin glulisine 10 units 3x/day before meals. How should he be advised regarding his insulin doses? A.

Do not inject insulin glulisine on the morning before surgery D. Do not inject insulin glulisine for all meals on the day of surgery

C Only his pre-breakfast short-acting insulin (glulisine) should be withheld

After how many minutes of injecting regular insulin may a patient start his meal? A. 5 B. 20 C. 30 D. 15

C Onset of regular insulin is at 30 minutes. Other short-acting insulins, such as Lispro, Aspart, and Glulisine have an onset at 15

Which of the following insulins has a duration of action of up to 24 hours when administered subcutaneously? A. NPH B. Regular C. Glargine D. Aspart
