Can you mix insulin?
Yes indeed it is possible to mix types of insulin into one syringe. Your diabetes nurse educator or doctor can explain to you how and why to do this. Common reasons are to mix a short acting insulin with a long acting one. Be sure to never try to mix insulin glargine as it can't be done.
Why dont mix glargine with short acting insulin?
The reason you cant, or may I say, "shouldn't" mix a short acting with glargine/Lantus is it is a full 24 hour insulin. Adding a short acting insulin would mean you take it to combat carbs/glucose increase from a meal. If you only administered your new "mix" of short acting and glargine/Lantus you would have no meal time insulin coverage for your 2 other regular meals. Results of letting glucose run high are very dangerous over a period of time. Microvascular complications - Nephropathy, Neuropathy, PAD, Heart Attack, Stroke are all unfortunate realities to high blood sugars.
