Question 1 of 5

Which insulin is used for basal dosing for 24-hour coverage and has no peak?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Lispro (Humalog) is a rapid-acting insulin used for mealtime glucose control. It has an onset of 15 minutes and peaks within 30 minutes to 1 hour, making it unsuitable for basal dosing. Aspart (NovoLog), another rapid-acting insulin, is similar to lispro in its onset and peak times. It is also used for mealtime glucose control, not basal glucose regulation. Regular insulin (Humulin R) is a short-acting insulin with an onset of 30 minutes to 1 hour and a peak of 2 to 4 hours. It cannot provide the steady basal glucose control required for 24-hour coverage. Glargine (Lantus) is a long-acting insulin that provides consistent basal glucose control with no pronounced peak. It is designed for once-daily dosing to maintain stable glucose levels over 24 hours, meeting the requirements for basal dosing.
