Humalog (insulin lispro) and Humulin N (NPH insulin) can be mixed in the same syringe, but it’s important to follow proper mixing techniques to ensure effectiveness. Humalog, a rapid-acting insulin, should be drawn into the syringe first, followed by Humulin N. However, mixing insulins should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure safety and proper management of blood sugar levels. Always consult with a healthcare provider before making any changes to insulin administration.

Humalog (insulin lispro) is typically administered subcutaneously, but it can be given intramuscularly (IM) in certain emergency situations, though this is not common practice. Lantus (insulin glargine) is specifically designed for subcutaneous use and should not be administered IM, as this can lead to unpredictable absorption and potentially dangerous fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Always follow a healthcare provider's guidelines for insulin administration.
