Question

which type of insulin is used for basal dosing?
nph
humalog (lispro)
lantus (glargine)

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Basal insulin provides long-lasting, steady blood glucose control between meals and overnight. Lantus (Glargine) is a long-acting insulin designed specifically for basal dosing, with a consistent 24-hour duration. NPH is an intermediate-acting insulin that has peak effects, making it less ideal for consistent basal coverage. Humalog (Lispro) is a rapid-acting insulin used for mealtime (prandial) dosing, not basal.

Answer:

C. Lantus (Glargine)
