    2. Insulin Terminology Basal insulin Long-acting, all Type 1 and most Type 2 DM patients should have basal insulin whether they are eating or not (insulin glargine, insulin detemir, or NPH) Nutritional or pre-meal / prandial insulin Short-acting insulin given with meals in anticipation of carbohydrate load glycemic spike (scheduled insulin aspart, insulin lispro, insulin glulisine, regular insulin) Correction or supplemental insulin Short-acting insulin given to cover high glucose; if substantial use, it should drive adjustment of basal and nutritional insulins

    3. Insulin Terminology Sliding scale insulin This is a dirty word; we dont use dirty words at UCSD Mindless medicine, paralysis of thought, action without benefit, insulin insanity Evidence does not support this technique without basal insulin; unacceptably high rates of Hyperglycemia Hypoglycemia and insulin stacking Iatrogenic DKA in patients with type 1 DM
