You are putting in admission orders on a patient diagnosed with a COPD exacerbation. The patient also has a history of hypertension and type II diabetes. She normally only take metformin 500mg PO BID for her diabetes. You understand the solu-medrol given for the exacerbation will likely cause hyperglycemia; therefore, you order sliding scale Humulin R to be given before meals. If this patient received Humulin R insulin at 11am, what time will its effect likely have peaked?
