I would recommend you to consult an endocrinologist and change your insulin from a premixed one to an analog mix like ryzodeg. However given the long-standing diabetes you are having I would suggest you to be on a basal bolus regimen which involves using two different insulins, in short two pens which will provide you finer control and better flexibility.

Insulin thus can regulate blood glucose and the body senses and responds to rise in blood glucose by secreting insulin.

Most carbohydrates contain a type of sugar known as glucose. After we finish eating, the carbohydrates break down into smaller sugar molecules called glucose inside the digestive ...more
