Hello, It is difficult give the dosage based on the information given. If you are on Glargine 40 units at night, then oral antidiabetes drugs plus another combination like Wosulin 30/70 (it is 30 /70 not 30/50), it is a bit odd. Because you are already on a long acting compound. So ideally there should be a short acting one to check post breakfast and post lunch surge. Another aspect the mentioned glucose levels are not too high, therefore Glargine and oral drugs should be enough to give a bette...more

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
I am sure you are aaware that for vials containing 40 units / ml insulin you have to use a syringe which depicts 40 u/ml on it. Similarly for 100 units /ml vial, there is a separate syringe showing 100 units/ml on it. So when use these specific syringes, it easier to take specific dosage based on the marks on the syringe. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given, With Kidney transplant it is better to avoid Metformin. Please let me know your serum creatinine and urea as there is a need to look at eGFR. Please tell me whether you are on only Actrapid insulin or is there another basal insulin added? Because in your case it is necessary to control blood glucose with Insulins only (Basal & rapid acting). Present glucose level is too high. Ideally fasting glucose should be < 100 mg or closer to ...more

These type of misadventures can be really dangerous, leave apart the miracle. God has granted us a beautiful life to live that itself is the biggest miracle, so we should not do things to keep it at risk. I suggest you should advice him not to take such deliberate risk with his health. Human insulin injections are scheduled prescription drugs which should not be taken without advice of a doctor, if anything goes wrong, not only the person using it without prescription, but also the chemist from ...more

Sometimes there is insulin resistance and many other factors which contribute to such situations (you may find the response is not satisfactory ). Please have patience and let you doctor reassess as frequently as possible. It may take some more time. You can discuss your concerns with the doctor. Aggressive changes in the treatment plan may not be favourable. You can always take a second opinion if needed. Thorough physical examination and regular monitoring is required in such cases. (the docto...more
