*Onset of this insulin is 30 min-1hour.*
This medication slows gastric emptying, lowers postprandial glucose, and promotes satiety, helping to reduce food intake and promote weight loss.
What are Amylin Analogs (Pramlintide acetate)?
What is poor wound healing?
This type of diabetes is classified when lab testing is borderline high. Lifestyle changes are recommended.
What is prediabetes?
The goal of this lab result is to be less than 7%.
What is Glycosylate Hemoglobin (HbA1C).
*Hint greater than 6.5 may indicate DM.
This insulin does not peak and should not be mixed with other insulins.
What is long acting insulin?
Examples: Glargine (Lantus)
Detemir (Levemir)

The proper way of mixing regular with NPH insulin.
What is Draw up the clear (REGULAR)
BEFORE cloudy (NPH)?
*Review the steps to mixing insulin. *
This mediation is medication is used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and should be discontinued if a patient is having a test requiring contrast medium.
