What will happen if you draw cloudy insulin up first then clear insulin and give to a patient?

The "cloudy" insulins are long-acting, while the "clear" insulins are rapid or short-acting. Drawing up the clear insulins first prevents the vial of short-acting insulin from being contaminated with a long-acting insulin.

∙ 11y agoi am a recent nursing grad. my fiance is diabetic. he does his insulin backwards (he draws cloudy then clear). i was always taught it was the othe way to prevent contamination of the insulin. but for the record, your patient is not likely to go into anaphylaxis if you do it backwards one time.
