Properly resuspend the insulin, vials should be carefully inverted or rolled at least 10 times, Humulin N KwikPen should be rolled between the palms ten times and inverted 180° ten times, and Novolin N FlexPen should be inverted 180° twenty times prior to the first injection and ten times thereafter. Cartridges [Canadian product] should be inverted 180° at least ten times. Properly resuspended insulin NPH should look uniformly cloudy or milky; do not use if any white insulin substance remains at the bottom of the container, if any clumps are present, or if white particles are stuck to the bottom or wall of the container. Cold injections should be avoided.Per the manufacturer labeling, Humulin N from a vial may be mixed with insulin lispro or insulin regular and Novolin N from a vial may be mixed only with insulin regular. When mixing insulin NPH with other insulins in a syringe, insulin NPH should be drawn into the syringe after the other insulin preparations. Do not dilute or mix other insulin formulations with insulin NPH contained in a cartridge [Canadian product] or prefilled pen. When there are less than 12 units remaining in Novolin N FlexPen, replace it with a new one to ensure even mixing.For prefilled pens, prime the needle before each injection with 2 units of insulin. Once injected, hold the needle in the skin for a count of 5 (Humulin N KwikPen) or 6 (Novolin N FlexPen) after the dose dial has returned to 0 units before removing
