When drawing up two different types of insulin, the two vials are prepared by cleansing the tops, air is injected in the longer-acting insulin, air is injected into the short-acting insulin, and the required dose is drawn up. Set the vial of short-acting insulin out of reach to prevent accidental reuse. Handing the plunger securely, insert the needle in the long-acting insulin and withdraw the dose very carefully. Check the dose with a licensed nurse before administering.
