Im doing an evidence-based practice paper on whether insulin should be rolled between the hands or shaken for mixing prior to administration (there has been some evidence that shaking is a better choice to evenly distribute the insulin throughout the suspension, regardless of the air bubbles because they can be tapped out once the insulin is drawn up) Unfortunately, I cant find the FULL articles that discuss shaking ANYWHERE (unless I want to buy them for $30 each...) Does anyone know where I can find some info on this??

Thanks in advance!

There's an article in the AJN, but I can't access it. For some reason, it's not recognizing either my sign in or password.

Wonderful sources - thanks so much. I learned something new:

The study recommends that a vial of insulin be rolled or tipped 20 times to achieve a satisfactory mixture.
