Mr. Lybrate-user, if you have t1 dm, then only treatment is insulin injection, no other option. If you have t2 dm and still you have been given insulin that means your diabetes must have been really in bad control. Diabetes occurs either due to lack of insulin or resistance to its action (t2 dm), or due to total absence (t1dm). Best medicine for diabetes in fact is insulin, it has no real side effects, our own islets of langerhans in pancreas produce it.

If the insulin has been started because of the failure of oral medicines then generally one has to take insulin life long. At times insulin is given prior to some surgery or a person is shifted to insulin because of some complication, then the patient can be shifted back to oral drugs.

It's very essential to have a blood sugar level that can be controlled by oral medicines. If you're taking insulin it means your sugar is not under control. Get hba1c levels checked and also fasting and post prandial blood sugars at regular intervals. If the range is coming at an acceptable level you can be put on oral medicines.

every insulin has it's time of action. for example human mustard 30/70 has 12 hrs of action or actrapid has 6-8hrs , novorapid 4 hrs humalog 4 hrs humalog mix25/75 has 12hrs lantus (glargine) has 24 hrs etc..
after it is finished then sugars will start rising again and need another shot.

I am 68 Years male, having diabetes since long back. Use of insulin was started from the year 2003, with 6 units of insulin 3 times daily. Gradually the intake of insulin increased, currently, I am consuming Mixtard 30/70 insulin 3 times a day with 20 units each time. Two years ago I underwent bypass surgery. Recently I have tested sugar levels from a lab (Fasting & after lunch) Reports are 142 Mg% & 242 Mg %.Along with this test, I have done HbA1c test and report is 10.2%, which is considered poor control .For deep monitoring, I have started testing at home at fasting, after breakfast, after lunch & after dinner. Observation is mentioned below. 14.12.2016 - 145, 310, 285, 240 15.12.2016 - 152, 317, 267 16.12.2016 - 129, 232, 207, 305 17.12.2016 - 156, 329, 248, 242 Kindly advise me, how much insulin should I take to keep blood sugar level in a normal range? Should I take rapid-acting insulin once in a day to maintain BSL in a normal range?

Mixtard 30/70 is 12 hr insulin and should be given twice daily.
Considering your current reports your post meal sugars are high throughout day.
Ideally you should be on basal bolus regimen (glargine as basal and rapid acting insulins like lispro as bolus before each meals)
alternatively some OHAs like voglibose or gliptins can be tried for post meal peaks. It is advisable to consult a good diabetologist for managing your sugars as more detail history needed for optimum control.

Novorapid is a short, rapid acting insulin that is typically given in 3 shots/ day (called Bolus insulins shots), with each major meal. It is more convenient to give this insulin in the hospital, when patients are admitted for infection/ surgery/ procedures/ delivery etc. Eglucent Mix 25 is a premixed insulin that contains two components; 25% of short, rapid acting and 75% of intermediate acting insulins. This needs to be taken only twice daily and hence, more convenient for the out patient.
