Free insulin increased to a peak in 2.7 +/- 0.3 h (range, 1--4) after regular insulin injection and then returned to baseline by 8.8 +/- 0.96 h. Subcutaneous injection of NPH insulin decreased the blood glucose by 2.4 +/- 0.5 h (range, 1--7), with a maximal effect at 11.0 +/...

Brusko and colleagues compared U-500 and U-100 regular insulin at doses of 50 and 100 units.1 Cochran et al.3 suggested that peak insulin concentrations occur later and the duration of action becomes prolonged as the dose or volume of regular, isophane (NPH), or zinc suspension (Lente) ...
this is the key difference between NPH and regular insulin. Moreover, NPH has a slower onset phase but lasts for a longer period of time. Regular insulin has a rapid onset but wears off in shorter time periods. Besides
