Why build your own insulin pharmacology deck

Generic insulin decks rarely match the drug list in your course. Upload your lecture slides or pharmacology notes and DeckOwl builds insulin pharmacology flashcards from your own material, with spaced repetition built in.

Cards pulled directly from your slides and readings
Spaced repetition that focuses on the cards you miss
Quiz questions with explanations for the same material
Export to Anki, PDF or CSV on the Plus plan

Example insulin pharmacology flashcards

Onset, peak and duration of rapid-acting insulin (lispro, aspart, glulisine)?Onset about 15 minutes, peak about 1 to 2 hours, duration about 3 to 5 hours. Given before meals to match the glucose rise.

Onset, peak and duration of regular insulin?Onset about 30 to 60 minutes, peak about 2 to 4 hours, duration about 6 to 8 hours. Given 30 minutes before meals.

What is the peak of NPH insulin, and what type is it?Intermediate-acting, peaking around 4 to 12 hours. Its cloudy suspension must be rolled gently before drawing up.

What is the rule of 15 for treating hypoglycemia?Give 15 grams of fast-acting carbohydrate, recheck blood glucose in 15 minutes, and repeat if it is still low. Glucose tablets are a common choice.

Why should insulin glargine not be mixed with other insulins in the same syringe?Glargine is a long-acting insulin with a precipitate-forming pH profile, so it must be given in its own syringe and not combined with other insulins.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so onset and peak times for each insulin type stick before the exam.

Quizzes and mind maps too

Turn the same notes into multiple choice, true/false and short answer quizzes with explanations, or map insulin classes as a mind map.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add your lecture slides, a chapter PDF or a photo of the drug table from your textbook.

Review the flashcards

Check the generated cards for insulin types, timing and hypoglycemia management, and edit any that miss your course emphasis.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck in the browser. Spaced repetition brings back the cards you find hard.

Each card can cover one fact: onset, peak and duration for rapid-acting, regular, NPH and glargine insulin, or the rule of 15 for treating low blood sugar. Reviewing these on a spaced schedule helps the timing differences stick before your exam.

Frequently asked questions

How many insulin cards should I make before a pharmacology exam?

Start with one card per insulin type and one for each timing fact, then add cards for any drug you keep missing. Spaced repetition will show you which cards need more review.

What should the back of an insulin flashcard include?

Include the onset, peak and duration for that insulin, plus one teaching point such as a hypoglycemia sign or a mixing rule. Keep each card to a single fact so review stays quick.

Can I export insulin flashcards to Anki?

Yes, exporting is a paid feature. Plus is $39/year or $7.99/month and includes export to Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV, while the free plan includes three generations per month and browser study only.

Is there a discount for students?

Students get 40% off with a school email, and you do not need a credit card to start.
