Short-Acting Insulin

Action of Short-Acting Insulin

Also called clear insulin, because of its transparent appearance, short-acting insulin, begins working in the body within 30 minutes after injection.

Typically, short-acting insulin works at maximum strength for 1-3 hours and is usually gone within 6-8 hours.

As a result of its relatively short lifespan, short-acting insulin must be injected several times during the day.

Warning: Always consult your doctor or diabetes counselor about which type of insulin is best for your diabetes.
