    American Diabetes Association answered:
    When two different types of insulin for diabetes need to be taken at the same time, some people prefer to mix the insulin together in one syringe. Insulin glargine can not be mixed with other insulins. You can learn to mix insulin yourself or you can use premixed insulins. Premixed insulins have two types of insulin in one bottle. The action times for each will depend on the type and amount of insulin in the mixture.
