boiled cotton  small ball, vial of insulin

- Look at the insulin to make sure it is OK to use. Rapid- and short-acting insulin should look clear, colorless, and free of particles. For all insulin types, there should be no particles attached to the side of the insulin bottle. If the insulin does not look right, throw it away and use a new bottle

- Wash your hands with soap and water and dry your hands

- Intermediate and long-acting insulin (cloudy insulin) must be mixed before it is given. Turn the bottle on its side and roll it between the palms of your hands.

Do not shake the bottle because shaking can make the insulin clump together. You do not need to mix clear insulin
