Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The blood glucose 471 mg (either random or PP, it can not be both), is too high. It means your present treatment is very inadequate. This needs to be upgraded. Please tell me whether you are on only Insulin or also take any oral antidiabetic drugs? Or you have T1 or T2 diabetes?

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.

insulin pens do not regular refrigeration. Only initially refrigeration is needed. Later these can kept at room temperature away from direct sunlight. So there will be no problem when you caryy around while travelling.

Thanks for the query.
