English: The long acting insulin is given once (usually glargine [Lantus]) or twice (usually detemir [Levemir]) daily to provide a base, or basal insulin level. Rapid acting (RA) insulin is given before meals and snacks. A similar profile can be provided using an insulin pump (discussed later in this Knol) where rapid acting insulin is given as the basal and premeal bolus insulin.
