The insulin regimen with two daily injections is still that more frequently used. Often regular and NPH insulins are mixed at different ratios according to the patient's need; however, the mixture preparation can involve several errors. Efficacy, safety and compliance were evaluated comparing a premixture 3/7 (Actraphane HM) with extemporary mixtures of regular + NPH at mixing ratios ranging from 2/8 to 4/6, in a cross-over study of 8 weeks involving 20 insulin dependent diabetics. Metabolic control, hypoglycaemic episodes, insulin dose and proportions were similar with both treatments while a higher compliance was achieved with the premixture. In conclusion, premixture 3/7 and extemporary mixture (from 2/8 to 4/6) obtain the same efficacy and safety but the former shows a higher acceptability.
