[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1424274, member: 380756"] As others have said Mixtard is a combination of NPH (medium long acting, twice daily) and Regular (short acting, not as short as Novorapid or Humulog though). To add another longer acting insulin (Lantus) to the NPH/regular is unusual. Now you have 3 different acting insulins on board vitually 24 hours/day. I'd bring it up with a doctor and see if they understand what combination you are now taking. Most Type 1 diabetics take a true long acting insulin (Lantus is the prototype there are newer ones now) and a short acting with each meal (Novorapid, Humulog, Humulin). [/QUOTE]
