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.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both Insulins mentioned are same. Only difference is one has 40 units per ml in the vial. The other has 100 units per ml in the pen. So if you are taking 6 units with 40 u/ml one, then 6 units need to be taken with the pen. You will have to fix the dosage on the pen, it will deliver that quantity only. Thanks.

A basal insulin such as Toujeo or Tresiba or Lantus once daily in place of insugen n. Instead of insugen r apidra or fiasp would be a better option .

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
The Insulins that you are taking are very good. There is no need to change those. What is important is to look at the dosage and diet adjustment. That will give you better control. When better control is achieved, your general health will also improve. Thanks.

All the needle length you mentioned are ok.
Smaller needles are associated with less pain.
With 4 mm needle you need not have to make skin fold.
