Hello, Thanks for the query.
I am sure aware that in a well controlled diabetes patient FBG should be just about 100 mg or a bit more, PP should be 150 to 170 mg& HbA1c% closer to 6.5%. That means there is a need to achieve much stricter glucose control.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
The doctor treating him should be able to arrange the Insulin pen for that particular insulin. Usually the company executive supplying the instrument will come and teach the patient how to use the device. So please contact the concerned doctor. Or through the chemist supplying the medicine, you can get in touch with the company person. Thanks.
