You can't dilute NPH because of the protamine suspension. Diluting it would dilute the suspension too, and cause it not to have the same action profile. You can dilute Lantus either, because of the acidity of it. Humalog is the only insulin that can officially be diluted, with a special dilutent.

But why you would bother is beyond me. You're not especially insulin sensitive. You don't need lower doses than typical MDI can provide.

I'll admit, your insulin plan makes no sense to me.

If you really want the level of micromanagement you're going for, a pump is your only option. But there's no evidence that this level of micromanagement is helpful.

Further, there's really no reason to shoot glucagon just because you're a certain level if you can eat.

Also, why does your Lantus dose vary (sig)?
