She may be experiencing joint complications related to diabetes, such as diabetic hand syndrome or another inflammatory condition. She should consult her doctor for a proper evaluation, maintain optimal blood sugar control, and follow the recommended hand exercises, physiotherapy, or pain management to preserve joint function and prevent further stiffness.

You can only get a prescription after a proper medical consultation. As a type 2 diabetic using insulin for 10 years, your doctor will need to review your current blood sugar records, overall health, and any complications before deciding if Human Actrapid and Human Insulatard are appropriate for you. Your doctor can then safely adjust the type and dose of insulin to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Continue your current insulin regimen as prescribed and monitor your blood sugar regularly. Dose adjustments may be needed based on your glucose readings, diet, and activity. Please consult your doctor for personalised guidance and regular follow-up.

You should follow a balanced diet with consistent carbohydrate intake to match your insulin doses. Include whole grains, oats, brown rice, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins, while limiting sugar, refined flour, and unhealthy fats. Spread meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to align with your insulin action and prevent large blood sugar spikes. Consult a dietitian for a personalised meal plan tailored to your insulin regimen and daily activity for optimal blood sugar control.
