I recently went for c-peptide test for my diabetes. My c peptide scores are - fasting. 4 pomp/ml and stimulated. 7 pmol/ml. I went to 1 st consultant, he suggested me Huminsulin 30/70 considering it as type 1. For 2nd opinion I contacted other doctor and he suggested for novomix 30 considering it as type 2 diabetes. I am not sure on which medication to consider? Few more details- Age 76 Fast 191 Post meal 281 LFT, KFT, ECG, RETINAL, FOOT doppler were all good. Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Both huminsulin & novomix are ok. But huminsulin is cheaper. Now, the choice is your's. But remember: at your age, beware of hypoglycemia when you take insulin, no matter which one.
