Can you take apidra and lantus together?
Yes you can take both Apidra and Lantus together. Lantus is a Basal insulin taken once a day at the same time each day, and Apidra is a meal time insulin that you take to control blood sugars after you eat. Your doctor will prescribe these types of insulin's to you once your pancreas efficiency has reduced.
When low do you take insulin glargine?
No. insulin glargine (Lantus) is a long acting insulin. You would take it if you are low and it's your scheduled time to take it after you've taken the appropriate steps to normalize your sugar. When your sugar is low you drink something like juice to bring it up quickly.
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.
