Draw up the regular insulin first. You always want to go from clear to cloudy. Also, you do not want the NPH insulin mixing into the regular insulin, therefore the regular insulin should be drawn up before the NPH (long-acting) insulin.

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.
You have a 3ml syringe and need to give 0.05cc of insulin How much do i draw up in units?
only use a insulin syringe for insulin. insulin MUST be correct.
Is humalog insulin cloudy?
yes. always draw up clear before cloudy. (regular before NPH)
If you use a 1 ml insulin syringe how many units would you draw up?
In a 1 mL insulin syringe, the markings typically represent units of insulin, not milliliters. The number of units you would draw up in a 1 mL insulin syringe depends on the concentration of the insulin you are using. Common insulin concentrations are 100 units/mL and 50 units/mL. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 100 units/mL and you want to draw up a certain number of units, you simply draw up that number of units on the syringe. For example, if you want to draw up 10 units of insulin, you would fill the syringe to the 10 unit mark on the syringe. If you are using insulin with a concentration of 50 units/mL, then each unit on the syringe represents 2 units of insulin. So, to draw up 10 units of insulin in this case, you would fill the syringe to the 5 unit mark. Always make sure to use the correct insulin concentration and syringe to accurately measure and administer your insulin dose. If you are unsure about the concentration or how to use the syringe, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist for guidance.

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.
