Hi guys,So I know that you don't administer glargine with another insulin in the same syringe, you'll have two syringes.Is there a wait time between administering the two syringes though? Had a test question that gave two options:1) Administer glargine, then inject other regular insulin2) Administer glargine, wait 20 minutes, then administer regular.The other two options had you mixing the glargine and regular together.I chose 1, because waiting 20 minutes seemed a bit excessive and you have to give the regular within 45 minutes of the meal and the long acting takes awhile to hit peak.I don't recall having gone over this specific detail, just that glargine and detemir aren't mixed.I'm a bit lost on the whole onset/peak/timing only had a few days to really sink my teeth into it, still working out the finer points.
