Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both Insulins mentioned are same. Only difference is one has 40 units per ml in the vial. The other has 100 units per ml in the pen. So if you are taking 6 units with 40 u/ml one, then 6 units need to be taken with the pen. You will have to fix the dosage on the pen, it will deliver that quantity only. Thanks.

Glimipride at this stage of disease probably is of no use. You need a change in your insulin. I will advise plain insulin in place of mixtard. Zitamet can be increased to 50/1000 twice a day. Basalog should continue.
