Aclient with diabetes carries insulin with him at all times. at 11: 35, he obtains a blood glucose reading of 218 mg/dl (12.1 mmol/l) and self-administers a dose of insulin in anticipation of eating lunch at noon. what type of insulin did he most likely inject?

Short acting insulin

Explanation:

Insulin utilized in the management of diabetes are grouped according to how soon they start working and the duration they work in the body system. The different types include;

Short acting insulin: starts working within 30 minutes of being injected and works up to eight hours in the body. This is usually administered 30 minutes before meals.Rapid acting insulin: starts working within 2.5 to 20 minutes after injection and lasts up to 5 hours. Usually injected few minutes after meals.Intermediate acting/background/basal insulin: starts working from 60 to 90 minutes after being injected and lasts up to 24 hours. This thus means that it is usually injected 60 to 90 minutes before meals.

Other types of insulin include long acting and mixed insulin.

Since the client in question injected the insulin dose about 30 minutes before eating lunch, he must have injected a short acting insulin.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
