by the body, yielding different peak times and durations of action. Faster-acting insulins peak quickly and are subsequently metabolized, while longer-acting insulins tend to have extended peak times and remain active in the body for more significant periods.

Examples of rapid-acting insulins (peak at ~1 hour) are:
* Insulin lispro (Humalog)
* Insulin aspart (Novolog)
* Insulin glulisine (Apidra)
