I am suffering from type 1 diabetes, currently my sugar levels are poor, its high. But my doctor has recommended to continue taking novomix 30-70 pen insulin with 20 units in morning and 17 units at night. My sugar levels tracked on glucometer shows reading 80-120 range before breakfast and 150-250 range before dinner. Is this insulin range fine to continue with? Or do I need to take 3 insulin shots in a day but as I am working I find it little unconvinent. Please suggest.

It is best to go for 3 times rapid acting insulin and daily once Lantus (glargine) or twice insulatard along with. Titrate dose to keep fasting below 120 and pp below 160.
