What kinds of insulin there ?

see if you can get a pump then you only need the neutral - i use the omnipod pump which is bluetooth so no cables just a pod the size of a cockroach that sticks to you and a separate control unit/ blood tester combined

Also true , but I'm not too fond of pumps - tried for 2 years, and we never got on too well together...

So how do you do it in a single dose ?

I suppose your question is more, if it is possible to mix the two different sorts of insulins in one dose - some you can mix, some not. Many of the newer types, are not made to be mixed with another insulin...

OK - your statement above is as a matter of fact discussed on this forum here:

https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/can-i-use-actrapid-with-mixtard-30-70.121472/

and the mixing of those two insulins is a bit dangerous, because mixtard contains fast-acting insulin, and actrapid is a quite fast acting insulin also. This is mentioned in the forum under the link above, and it was "urbanracer" who had some experience of the mixing of them...
