secondly the answer you are probably looking for is: in the brain and in the eyes, glucose can enter both sites without need for insulin

but also know that exercise causes the muscles to become insulin independent as well

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.
