In California, 40.5 percent of families in poverty had enrolled their 3- or 4-year-old in preschool in 2013, compared to nearly 60 percent of families above the poverty line.

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.
Make sure that the tip of the needle is in the insulin. Pull back on the syringe plunger to draw the correct dose of insulin into the syringe (see picture 1). Make sure there are no air bubbles in the syringe before you take the needle out of the insulin bottle.
