Uworld QID 5344 notes that: "Because there is a slight delay in the absorption of insulin when it is given SQ, the insulin infusion should be continued for 1-2 hours after the administration of SQ insulin. This bridging process ensures sufficient time for SQ insulin to take effect and prevents rebound ketoacidosis"
