Hello, Thanks for the query.
There a number of rapid acting insulins like regular or analogs, all are safe and effective to use along with Glargine. There is also a combination available with regular insulin, which can be used. Thanks.

Hi.
You have described your case very well, thank you for that.
As you have mentioned, your hba1c was very well controlled at 6.7 last year. You need to check in again now. If it again shows that your diabetes is very well controlled, then there is no such need of changing a very well suited insulin regiment and experiment with a newer one.

Ask your mother to walk atleast half an hour in the morning and in the evening
and you need to visit a diabetic care in order to reduce the amount of tablets and insulinntaken by your mom

If you are a confirmed case of Insulin Dependent Diabetes . At least as of now nothing other than Insulin will work. Insulin Pen works well, least pain and most convenient. You should do everything to maintain perfect sugar control, regular follow up , preventing complications, early detection and earliest detection of complications to have long and healthy life. Research is going on extensively for painless administration of Insulin for which wait hopefully

Mr. Lybrate-user, both the brands contain one part as fast acting insulin and the other part as a loger acting insulin. You can replace one for another, but slight dose adjust mey be needed.
