You can add alpha glucosidase inhibitor to control PP after consulting your doctor. You can also switch to basal plus tnsulin therapy consulting your physician/ diabetologist/ endocrinologist by adding short acting insulin before largest meal. Yes you can switch to wockhardt or lupin brand for economic reason otherwise they are not superior what you are already taking.

If you are a type 1 patient you need to take insulin life long.
Humalog 50/ 50 (lispro) is 12 hr insulin so you need to take it 2 times daily.
50/50 means 50 % covers your breakfast sugars and remaining 50 % controls sugar for next 12 hrs.
If your breakfast and dinner is heavy then it suits you. You can do smbg charting with glucometer at home to check your sugar fluctuations. It will help to monitor your insulin dosage.

Normally starting dose of insulin for type 2 diabetes is roughly 0.4-0.6 units/kg weight. But in type 2 diabetes insulin resistance is variable. In long standing diabetes pt whose beta cells are exhausted and who is obese insulin requirement may go beyond 2-3 units/kg. HbA1c is approx average of blood sugar control in last 3 months. More HbA1c means more uncontrolled diabetes and may require more insulin.

You can add Homeopathy which is safe and effective and can be taken with other medicines. Homeopathy helps the body to respond positively by empowering the immune system. The Homeopathic remedies are given after considering the totality of symptoms (the constitution of the individual personality ). You can contact me for a private consultation.
