Can regular insulin and nph be mixed together?
Yes, regular insulin and NPH (Neutral Protamine Hagedorn) insulin can be mixed in the same syringe. This combination is commonly referred to as "mixed insulin" and is used for certain insulin therapy regimens. Regular insulin is a short-acting insulin, while NPH insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin. It's important to follow proper mixing techniques to ensure the effectiveness of the insulin and to avoid contamination. Here are general steps for mixing regular insulin and NPH insulin in the same syringe: Wash your hands: Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water. Gather supplies: Collect the vials of regular insulin and NPH insulin, a syringe, and alcohol swabs. Roll the NPH insulin vial: Gently roll the NPH insulin vial between your palms to ensure uniform suspension. Clean the rubber stoppers: Wipe the rubber stoppers of both insulin vials with alcohol swabs. Draw up air into the syringe: Draw air into the syringe equal to the dose of NPH insulin needed. Inject air into the NPH insulin vial: Insert the needle into the NPH insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up NPH insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of NPH insulin. Inject air into the regular insulin vial: Insert the needle into the regular insulin vial and inject the air. Draw up regular insulin: Invert the vial and withdraw the correct dose of regular insulin. Check for air bubbles: Hold the syringe upright and tap it to dislodge any air bubbles. Push the plunger slightly to remove any air. Verify the dose: Double-check that you have the correct total dose in the syringe. Administer the injection: Administer the injection as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider or the insulin manufacturer. If you are unsure about the proper technique for mixing insulin or have any concerns, consult with your healthcare team for guidance.
What is basal insulin?
Basal rate: The amount of insulin required to manage normal daily blood glucose fluctuations. Most people constantly produce insulin to manage the glucose fluctuations that occur during the day. In a person with diabetes, giving a constant low level amount of insulin via insulin pump mimics this normal phenomenon.Insulin: A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps the body use glucose for energy. The beta cells of the pancreas make insulin. (Above Source: Web MD : Diabetes Glossary of Terms) Insulin Therapy: The Basal dose is the standard dose you take daily. For example, if someone was on Lantus (long acting) and Novolog (short acting) the Lantus would be taken once per day as the basal dose, and the Novolog would be taken with meals as the bolus. With an insulin pump, the basal dose is the dose that you get per hour, while the bolus is what you take to cover meals.

A bolus insulin does it means some rapid insulin mixed with a lente one?
A bolus of insulin refers to the dose you take to cover food you've eaten with short acting insulin. As opposed to the basal dose, which is the dose you take once or twice a day (or if you're on a pump, the amount set to go in per hour) that is constant throughout the day. The bolus is usually carbohydrate based (ex. 1 unit per 10 grams of carbs) and so it varies.
