If more than one dose is missed, contact your health care provider or pharmacist. Do not take any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including vitamins, minerals, and herbal products, without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist during treatment with insulin. Roll the container of insulin between your palms 10 times. Then, if you are using a pen or prefilled syringe, turn it upside down so that the glass ball moves from one end to the other. Do this at least 10 times. Repeat this procedure until the suspension appears uniformly white and cloudy. Do not shake the insulin vigorously. Inject immediately. Repeat this procedure before each subsequent injection. Do not use the insulin if it is discolored, has particles in it, or looks different from previous vials, cartridges, or prefilled syringes of Humalog Mix. Use only the approved delivery device(s) for cartridges or prefilled syringes of insulin. If you are mixing different types of insulins in the same syringe, follow your doctor's directions and always draw up the different insulins in the same order (usually the clear insulin first). Do not mix different insulins in the same syringe unless specifically directed to do so by your doctor. Rotate injection sites exactly as directed by your doctor. Usually, you should not inject within 1 inch of the same site within 1 month. Never reuse a needle or syringe. Dispose of all needles and syringes in an appropriate, puncture-resistant disposal container. Do not change the insulin strength (e.g., U-100) or insulin type (e.g., lispro and lispro protamine, glargine, regular, etc.) unless your doctor approves a change for you. Do not change the brand of insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine or syringe that you are using without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Some brands of insulin lispro and insulin lispro protamine and syringes are interchangeable, while others are not. Follow any diet and exercise plan that you have developed with your doctor or nurse. Changes in what you eat or how much you exercise can change the amount of insulin that you need to control your blood sugar levels. Ask your doctor or nurse what to do if you are sick with a cold, flu, or fever. These illnesses may change your insulin requirements. Your healthcare provider may recommend regular monitoring of blood sugar levels with blood or urine tests. Wear some type of medical identification bracelet, necklace, or other alert tag to inform others that you have diabetes and that you require insulin in the case of an emergency.
