It looks very different. You have to roll the pen between your hands 10
times to mix it. It looks milky. This is the 75/25 also known as U-100.

I just think it's funny that someone thinks that a mix of NPH and
Regular is "new" :-).

It is new to me.

I don't have anything against NPH and regular, it kept me alive for 27
years before I switched to Humalog and Lantus a few years back and I
got pretty good at it the NPH+R regimes. But at least in my head, the
more modern insulin methodologies (basal+bolus) seem more appropriate
for me, than 75/25 mix.

I am also taking Lantus and Novolog.

U-100 is the concentration... your Lantus and Novolog are also U-100.

Oh.

Be sure of your readings, if you get an unusually high spike recheck your meter readings and do NOT raise your dosage too high unless you KNOW why you spiked. ...
