Every insulin is the same hormone. What makes them different — and dangerous — is time: when it starts, when it peaks, and how long it lasts. Hypoglycemia happens at the peak, so the nurse's job is to know where that peak lands and make sure food lands there too. Pick an insulin, drag the dose time, and watch the risk window move.
