If your sugar levels have not improved despite regular insulin use and walking, your insulin dose, timing, or type may need adjustment. You should consult your doctor or a diabetologist for a detailed review, including your diet, injection technique, blood sugar records, and possible changes to your insulin regimen or the addition of other medicines.

A post-meal reading of 190 indicates that your insulin timing, dosage, or meal composition may need to be adjusted because premixed insulin occasionally has poor post-prandial spike control. If necessary, discuss dose titration, cutting back on high-carb foods, or changing to a basal-bolus regimen with your diabetologist.

Your insulin dose, timing, or type has to be adjusted because these readings indicate poor control. Instead of increasing doses on your own, you should contact a diabetologist very away. Sugar levels can be safely lowered by regular self-monitoring, appropriate injection technique, and?meal planning.

Your diabetologist may change your insulin dosage or move you to a basal-bolus insulin regimen with appropriate meal planning if your HbA1c is 8, which indicates that control is not optimum. When insulin is optimized, some oral medications, such as Gemer (sulfonylurea), may be reduced or eliminated, and control can be improved by implementing lifestyle modifications or, if more inexpensive, newer medications.

Since insulin and diabetic medications need to be provided by a licensed physician after assessing your blood sugar levels, I am unable to write a prescription. Since long-term use may require dose modifications, please visit your treating physician or a nearby clinic to obtain a fresh prescription.

A long-acting basal insulin, such as insulin glargine (such as Lantus/Basaglar) or insulin detemir, can be used at night to improve fasting glucose if your average blood sugar is around 200 and you want to take one insulin before bed. Before switching, talk to your doctor about the right dosage and monitoring schedule because this requires medical supervision.

These results indicate that Huminsulin 30/70 is not effectively regulating your blood sugar levels; therefore, you should reevaluate your insulin regimen instead of increasing your dosage. For improved fasting and post-meal management, speak with a diabetologist about modifying timing, injection method, diet, or switching to a basal-bolus regimen.

Consult your physician about switching to less expensive generic substitutes (e.g., metformin instead of Janumet, human insulin instead of branded insulin, and less expensive SGLT2 inhibitors than Jardiance). Additionally, see if your local health program or drugstore offers patient aid or subsidies to lower costs.

Metformin alone cannot control type 1 diabetes; therefore, insulin is necessary, and a diabetologist must modify the kind and dosage based on blood sugar monitoring. A correct insulin regimen (basal-bolus or mixed) and frequent glucose checks are necessary to ensure safe control,?do not switch to Huminsulin 30/70 on your own.

Huminsulin 30/70 and Mixtard 30 are both premixed human insulin products with the same 30/70 ratio, containing 30% short acting human insulin and 70% intermediate acting insulin, so they are similar and are sometimes used interchangeably. However, any switch between insulin brands or formulations should be done only under a doctor’s supervision, as even slight differences in formulation, absorption, and individual response can affect blood sugar control, and dose adjustments may be required. Always consult your healthcare provider before substituting one insulin product for another.
