Is nph isulin cloudy?
Yes, NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin is cloudy. This is because it contains protamine, which is a protein that helps prolong the action of the insulin. Before use, NPH insulin needs to be gently mixed by rolling the vial or pen between the hands to ensure an even distribution of the insulin and protamine.
When mixing regular and nph insulin which do you draw up first?
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.
Why inject air in NPH before injecting air in regular?
Injecting air into NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin before injecting air into regular insulin helps to prevent contamination and maintains the clarity of the regular insulin. NPH is a cloudy solution, and injecting air into it first prevents any NPH from inadvertently entering the regular insulin vial. This practice ensures that the correct types of insulin are drawn into the syringe without mixing them, which is crucial for accurate dosing and effective diabetes management.
