What insulin can be IV
Regular
Mixing insulin is it cloudy to clear or clear to cloudy
clear to cloudy
What insulin are cloudy
NPH, premixed insulin are cloudy
Can you freeze insulin
NO
Which insulin are clear
regular, rapid-acting analogs, long-acting analogs are clear
Can lantus mix with other insulin?
no its lonely
do you have to roll clear insulin or cloudy
cloudy though you can roll both
insulin mixing
inject air into cloudy then inject air into clear while in clear withdraw required dose. Then go to cloudy and withdraw medication
