nice memory tool pulled from an April emdocs post:
INSULINs:
rapid acting: LOGs (e.g. NovoLog, HumaLog)
short to intermediate acting: LINs
- Lin R – Short acting (NovoLin R, HumuLin R)
- Lin N – Intermediate acting (NovoLin N, HumuLin N)
long acting: other stuff (e.g. Lantus, Levemir)
There you go. Check out the original post, which has a nice chart on the pharmacokinetics, as well as this handy visual aid, too.
