Mr. lybrate-user, There is brand by name "Mixtard 30/70 InnoLet 3 ml injection. Usually concerned company persons do visit and explain how to use the Insulin Pens. So while buying it from the local chemist ask him to send the particular company representative to demonstrate the usage. The cartridges are 3 ml while vial is bigger. So please get all the details before switching over. Pens are definitely much easier to use. Thanks.

Ayurveda very good medicines for diabetes and weakness.
वात पित्त कफ दोष आयुर्वेद चिकित्सा के आधार हैं अतः रोगी की प्रकृति और दोष के आधार पर हम भोजन, परहेज, दिनचर्या ,योग और प्राणायाम के साथ कुछ आयुर्वेदिक दवाइयां लेने का परामर्श देते हैं और परिणाम बहुत अच्छे मिलते हैं परंतु उसके लिए व्यक्तिगत रूप से फोन अथवा वीडियो कॉल द्वारा बात करना आवश्यक है।

Strictly speaking, diabetic should avoid alcohol completely. But if you insist on taking it, ensure that your blood sugars and all other parameters are normal. Then, you may take one 30 ml drink of hard liquor (usually containing around 45% alcohol) per day. However, if you are on Insulin, avoid alcohol.
