Can regular insulin and nph be mixed together?
Yes, regular insulin (short-acting) and NPH insulin (intermediate-acting) can be mixed together in the same syringe. However, it is important to follow proper mixing techniques and dosage guidelines as instructed by your healthcare provider to ensure accurate dosing and effectiveness of the insulin.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Is insulin the same as glucose?

Why cant you mix insulin into food instead of injecting?
Mixing insulin into food would alter its effectiveness, as the digestive process breaks down insulin before it can enter the bloodstream to regulate blood sugar. Insulin injections deliver the hormone directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and effectiveness. Mixing insulin into food would not provide the same controlled and reliable blood sugar management as injections.
