Yes. The long acting and the rapid acting seperate out naturally. You have to shake mixed pens to get the solution milky white. Didn't your medical people tell you how to use it?

Shake slowly until you're satisfied? J shake my NPH cloudy insulin 30 times, but slowly so as not to break the mechanism. FWIW.
