I have diabetes and I'm taking Huminsulin along with Junevia 100mg and Gemer Fort 2 BD, but my HbA1c is 8. What are some better treatment options?

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.

My blood sugar is consistently uncontrolled: fasting 210 and after breakfast 350. Im on Huminsulin mix 30/70 (30 and 20).

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.

I'm using Huminsulin 30/70 at 20+20 units daily with an average sugar level of 200. Please suggest an insulin I can take only at bedtime.

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.

I have been taking Huminsulin 30/70 100IU/ml Cartridge twice daily and walking 5 to 6 kilometres, but my sugar levels have not decreased in 3 years. What should I do?

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.

Can it be used as substitute for mixtard 30 ?

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.

I need a prescription for Huminsulin 30/70 cartridge and Covance D, which I've been using for the last 8 years as advised by my doctor.

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.
