Insulin is a medicine that lowers blood glucose (sugar). There are several types of insulin. Each type of insulin has a certain time period in which it works. In order to understand insulin action, it is helpful to know the onset, peak and duration of the insulin you take.1  Onset refers to when the insulin starts to work.2  Peak refers to when the insulin works hardest.ach type of insulin has a certain time period in which it works.

Insulin's most important function is to facilitate glucose (blood sugar) uptake by a variety of tissues, especially adipose (fat) and skeletal muscle. Insulin also stimulates the synthesis and storage of triglycerides and proteins. Insulin is the most important regulator of blood glucose. High blood glucose (such as exists shortly after a meal) stimulates the release of insulin, whereas low blood glucose levels inhibit insulin release. The most important reason for measuring the blood insulin level is the diagnosis or evaluation of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
