My father sugar is too high Earlier he was on mixtard insulin 22 unit morning 14 unit night so doc changed it into actrapid 12 unit each before 3 times meal and and lantus after dinner bt unfortunately 100iu/ml actrapid is not available in the market where I live and due to this I gave 40/iu insulin bt sugar levels goes very high. So please suggest some alternative as doc to whom we consult is not available?
