Why do diabetics receive insulin subcutaneously by infection rather than orally?
[Because it gets in your system faster than having to take a pill and wait for the pill to dissolve.] Although this is probably also true, I think the main reason is that insulin is a protein molecule, which mean if you took it in pill-form your digestive system would break it down before it had a chance to be absorbed and get to work.

Can regular insulin and nph be mixed together?
Yes, regular insulin and NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin can be mixed in the same syringe. This combination is commonly referred to as "mixed insulin" and is used for certain insulin therapy regimens. Regular insulin is a short-acting insulin, while NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin. It's important to follow proper mixing techniques to ensure the effectiveness of the insulin and to avoid contamination. Here are general steps for mixing regular insulin and NPH insulin in the same syringe: Wash your hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather supplies: Collect the vials of regular insulin and NPH insulin, a syringe, and alcohol swabs. Roll the NPH insulin vial: Gently roll the NPH insulin vial between your palms to ensure uniform suspension. Clean the rubber stoppers: Wipe the rubber stoppers of both insulin vials with alcohol swabs. Draw up air into the syringe: Draw air into the syringe equal to the dose of NPH insulin needed. Inject air into the NPH insulin vial: Insert the needle into the NPH insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up NPH insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of NPH insulin. Inject air into the regular insulin vial: Insert the needle into the regular insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up regular insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of regular insulin. Check for air bubbles: Hold the syringe upright and tap it to dislodge any air bubbles. Push the plunger slightly to remove any air. Verify the dose: Double-check that you have the correct total dose in the syringe. Administer the injection: Administer the injection as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the insulin manufacturer. If you are unsure about the proper technique for mixing insulin or have any concerns, consult with your healthcare team for guidance.
