If you're using intermediate- or long-acting insulin, roll the insulin bottle between your hands to mix the insulin evenly. Don't shake the bottle, as shaking can make the insulin clump together. Rapid- and short-acting (clear) insulin does not need to be mixed.

I'm pretty sure the shaking we are warned against is the vigorous shaking one might perform to mix to a bottle of liquid antibiotic for example... not the kind of gentle movement a vial might get in your pocket... unless you spend all day jumping up and down that is
