[QUOTE="Caleb Murdock, post: 223364, member: 37907"] Regular insulin takes 45-60 minutes to begin acting, and then stays in the body for 4-5 hours. When I said 5-6 hours, I was including that initial hour before it starts to work. However, Bernstein says it can have a residual effect up to 8 hours. According to Bernstein's book, the fast-acting engineered insulins take 30 minutes to start working and stay in the body for 2-3 hours. To get them to act like insulin released by the pancreas (which starts working in minutes), you would have to inject them into a vein or into muscle. [/QUOTE]
