Intermediate Acting Insulin
NPH (Humulin N, Novolin N, ReliOn N) -cloudy -can be given as basal insulin, typically dosed BID, as an add on to oral drugs- has more hypoglycemia risk -can mix with rapid and short acting insulins
25
Long-acting insulins
-Insulin detemir (Levemir) -Insulin glargine (Lantus, Lantus SoloStar, Basaglar KwikPen, Toujeo SoloStar, Toujeo Max SoloStar) --> Lantus is 100 units/mL --> Toujeo is concentrated at 300 units/mL -Insulin degludec (Tresiba FlexTouch) --> comes in 100 and 200 units/mL -all usually injected once daily

27
Insulin dosing in DM1
1) calculate TDD (0.5 units/kg/day, using TBW) 2) divide the TDD into 50% basal and 50% bolus 3) divide the bolus insulin evenly among 3 meals
28
Insulin Conversions
most conversions are 1:1 EXCEPTIONS: 1) BID NPH to qd insulin glargine (Lantus, Toujeo, Basaglar) --> use 80% of total daily NPH dose as initial insulin glargine dose 2) once daily Toujeo to once daily Lantus or Basaglar: --> use 80% of the total daily Toujeo dose as the inital Lantus or Basaglar dose
29
Selecting an Insulin Syringe
-0.3 mL up to 30 units -0.5 mL for 30-50 units -1 mL for 51-100 units
30
Meal time insulin dosing
A: ICR rule of 450 for REGULAR 450/ total daily dose of insulin (TDD) B: ICR rule of 500 for RAPID- ACTING 500/total daily dose of insulin (TDD)
31
Calculating correction factor: regular insulin
-rule of 1500 1500/ total daily dose of insulin = correction factor for 1 unit of regular insulin
32
Calculating the correction factor: Rapid-acting
-rule of 1800 1800/total daily dose of insulin = correction factor for 1 unit of rapid-acting insulin
33
Calculating the correction dose (for both types of insulin)
(BG now) - (target BG) / correction factor = correction dose
