護理師給予胰島素甘精（Insulin Glargine）。關於此藥物，下列敘述何者正確？
A nurse is administering insulin glargine. Which characteristic is correct regarding this insulin?
- AIt must be given before every meal必須在每餐前給予
- BIt has a peak effect in 2-4 hours在2-4小時內達到作用峰值
- CIt should be mixed with NPH insulin應與NPH胰島素混合
- DIt is a long-acting insulin✓ 正解是一種長效型胰島素
— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
Glargine 屬於長效型胰島素，提供基礎血糖控制（Basal insulin）。其特色為無明顯峰值（peakless），每日給藥一次。由於 pH 值與其他胰島素不同，絕對不可與其他類型胰島素混合在同一個針筒內注射。
Glargine is a long-acting insulin that provides basal glycemic control. Its key feature is that it is peakless and is administered once daily. Because its pH differs from that of other insulins, it must absolutely not be mixed in the same syringe with any other type of insulin.
