They are slightly different in composition. So there will be difference in onset and peak action. However, you can try it and see whether the blood sugar control is acceptable. Your fasting and pp levels are high it should be below 130 and 180 respectively. Also get an hba1c done to have a better understanding of your blood sugar control.

I am type 2 diabetic patient since 28 years with high bp and coronary heart disease (standing in 2008 and 2014). For dm taking novomix penfill 30/70 insulin three times and tablets (glister 4, morning and evening, tenpla in afternoon and ramo-100 morning and evening). Cost of novomix penfill is very high and increasing every 6 months. My family physician advised alternate insulin i.e. Wosulin 30/70 manufactured by wockhardt locally. The content of both is same except novomix is synthetic and wosulin is human. With novomix penfill and tablets my sugar levels are average 130 fasting and post lunch 175. By switching over to wosulin (cost benefit which is one third of novomix) is there any side effect? Will my sugar level will controlled? Will there weight gain. Attaching medical history. Taking novomix since last six years.

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. In fact you are too many drugs to treat diabetes. Since you are on 30/70 insulin (any one is similar) you can actually achieve better control by monitoring the insulin dosage and fasting and pp glucose levels. Taking so many oral anti-diabetes drugs may not be needed.
As regards your question both the brands work in the same manner. Both contain human insulin only but compounds are different. So there is no need to worry...more

Healthy high cal/ Low fat/high protein diet without sugar and jeggary in day to day cooking may help in sugar control along with regular exercises.

Dear , your bmi is 25.7 which makes you slightly overweight. This increases a insulin resistance and thus will play a role in keeping your blood sugar high. A proper measure for knowing and managing your diabetes will be to ensure a hba1c below 6.5%. Regarding diet, we indians have high carbohydrate diet. You have to closely observe your plate and you can come up with a better diet plan for yourself. To simplify it, identify the items which are carb rich in your plate and try to compensate the s...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
TSH 7.7 mU/L is considered as subclinical hypothyroidism, which usually not treated. More so in children. Only when TSH level crosses 10 mU/L then treatment is considered. Many a times in later years TSH returns to normal. Thanks.

Mr. Lybrate-user, t1 diabetes has to be treated by insulin injections only. There is no other alternative, insulin injections have to be taken for diabetes control as well as for survival.
Along with that you have to take a restricted diet, so that it provides just exact calories, exercise daily for one hour for better glucose utilisation and reducing insulin resistance. T1 diabetes occurs due to destruction of beta cells of islets of langerhans (insulin secreting cells). This is an autoimmu...more

Recosulin R is a regular insulin which will work for short time only Lupisulin M 30 is mixture of NPH (Intermediate acting) and regular (short acting) insulin
So both are different in their action and need to be use in appropriate cases.
