Thank you so much!!! Your explanation is so clear and straight to the point. I wish you were my instructor. I am definitely subscribing and will be back for more.
Hi Karina, the only insulins that can be mixed IN THE SAME SYRINGE are Regular and NPH. However, patients may still be on a long- and short-acting insulin. This, for instance, may be Lantus, which will be given once daily (long-acting) and additionally they may be on Humalog or Regular insulin (short-acting) for meal coverage. Their pancreas is not producing enough insulin due to the disease (needing long-acting insulin) and they will have more insulin needs after eating (short-acting insulin). Hope this helps!

How come the intermediate stays in the body longer than the long acting insulin. The intermediate stays for 18 - 28 hrs whiles the long acting stays for 20 - 24 hrs. I thought the long acting is supposed to stay longer in the body
Hi Nathaniel, great question! It really depends on where you get the information since there are many different manufacturers of insulins. The main difference between intermediate-acting and long-acting insulins is that intermediate-acting ones have a peak of about 4-12 hours where long-acting ones give a steady supply of insulin over a 24 hour period. Take a look at the graph at bottom of this website for a nice visual: dtc.ucsf.edu/types-of-diabetes/type2/treatment-of-type-2-diabetes/medications-and-therapies/type-2-insulin-rx/types-of-insulin/#insulinaction Hope this helps & good luck in your studies!

i thought long acting cannot be mixed with any other insulin? but you wrote it is given with rapid acting.
