Your insulin regimen may be appropriate if your blood sugar levels and HbA1c are within the target range and you are not experiencing frequent hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). Insulin doses should be tailored based on your blood glucose pattern, diet, and physical activity. Please consult your doctor to review your latest results and determine whether any adjustments are needed.

Current Regimen Evaluation

- Monitor for hypoglycemia, especially overnight or between meals.
- Regularly review your regimen with your healthcare provider to adjust doses based on blood sugar patterns and lifestyle changes.
Recommendations
- Continue rotating injection sites to prevent skin issues.
- Maintain a balanced diet and regular exercise.
- Consult your doctor if you experience frequent highs or lows, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
