Depends on the type of insulin -- in fact, the "onset time", "peak time" and "duration" of a particular insulin differs from one type to another. You're asking about "onset time", which varies from about 15 minutes to about 3 hours depending on the insulin type and the individual. Duration can be anywhere from 3 hours to 24, again depending. See the link below ("Types of Insulin and their action profiles") for typical onset, peak, and duration numbers for various commonly sold insulins.
