Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Insulin dose decided on the basis of blood glucose level both fasting and after food. Plus there are different types of insulins, it is not which one you are using. There are rapid acting and long acting insulins plus combination of both.
It is given in units per dose, not as ml. Taking excess insulin is not advised. It causes hypoglycemia. Thanks.

is it cartridges that you mean.

The insulin used in cartridges which are used in pen devices are more stable and once it is open has good functionality till a month.

If buying in bulk can be stored in the door of refrigerator.

Probably you are taking 80 units of insulin/day. Yes I can start you on cheaper insulin and it may control your sugars better with proper diet and excersize. However I may need your past history and treatment records.

You can add alpha glucosidase inhibitor to control PP after consulting your doctor. You can also switch to basal plus tnsulin therapy consulting your physician/ diabetologist/ endocrinologist by adding short acting insulin before largest meal. Yes you can switch to wockhardt or lupin brand for economic reason otherwise they are not superior what you are already taking.

You probably need to take insulin long-term to keep your sugars under control under the supervision of your doctor. In lean diabetics with very high blood sugars, insulin should be continued probably lifelong
