You have uncontrolled Diabetes with oral medication and MIxtard and Basalog both injection on going at same time and total units around 125 unit, Please do your HbA1c report and revert, as you have Insulin resistance and the oral medication will not work atall moreover your insulin also needs to be changed. As such basalog with mixtard is not a good combination Thanks

Glimipride at this stage of disease probably is of no use. You need a change in your insulin. I will advise plain insulin in place of mixtard. Zitamet can be increased to 50/1000 twice a day. Basalog should continue.
