The pain and shaking in the amputated leg are likely 'phantom limb pain' and phantom spasms, caused by damaged nerve signals. The current half-tablet dose of Neugatrip (Pregabalin + Amitriptyline) may be too low to control this severe neuropathic pain. Additionally, the shaking could be a side effect (extrapyramidal symptom) of Oleanz (Olanzapine).\n\nTo manage this, a doctor may need to optimize the Neugatrip dosage, evaluate the necessity of Oleanz, or consider adding targeted medications like Gabapentin or Baclofen for spasms. Please consult the patient's treating physician immediately for a safe, supervised medication adjustment and to check their blood sugar levels.

Which insulin is best for a Type 1 diabetes patient: only Regular insulin, or a combination of Regular and Human Mixtard 70/30?

For Type 1 diabetes, using only Regular insulin is not recommended because it lacks the long-acting background (basal) coverage your body needs 24/7. While a combination involving Human Mixtard 70/30 (which contains 70% intermediate-acting insulin) provides some background coverage and is better than Regular alone, it is still not the ideal choice. The modern gold standard for Type 1 diabetes is a basal-bolus regimen: combining a dedicated long-acting insulin (like Glargine) with rapid-acting insulin before meals. This offers the safest, most flexible, and most precise blood sugar control. Please consult your doctor to tailor the best regimen for you.
