Insulin is available in rapid-, short-, intermediate-, and long-acting types that may be injected separately or mixed in the same syringe. Rapid-acting insulin analogs (insulin lispro and insulin aspart) are available, and other analogs are in development. Regular is a short-acting insulin.
To reduce discomfort at the injection site, do not inject cold insulin. The insulin container you are currently using can be kept at room temperature. Insulin aspart may be injected in the abdominal wall, the thigh, or the back of the upper arm. Inject this medication under the skin within 5-10 minutes before eating a meal or as directed by your doctor.
