Client Education: Rapid-Acting Insulin A nurse is reviewing different types of insulin with a client newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The nurse explains that the client’s mealtime insulin is a rapid-acting type. The nurse recognizes the client needs further teaching if the client says: “Glargine works quickly to lower my blood sugar.” “Detemir acts fast and is great for immediate glucose control.” “NPH insulin will help control my blood sugar spikes after eating.” “Lispro is designed to act rapidly at mealtimes.”
