I have asked my doctor to change my insulin regime to MDI as I have been diagnosed at 37years, I wanted to cut oral meds and go on the insulin therapy as for the long run and give me a tight control over my sugar levels. (The doctor said no and has given me very expensive tablets) In my profession as a stock broker I have to be seated almost 90% of my work time. I am a pre vegetarian, take low card food and have an hour of walking in the mornings. I followed the pattern of insulin regime what my cousin does, tried ?novo rapid? pre meals and ?Lantus? at bed time. Had good results and control. My HB1ac from 11.6 dropped to 9.2 in 2 months My question to experts 1. Is it safe too continue this MDI because I don?t want to continue tablets. 2. Due to ?high cost? reasons what are the substitutes that I use instead of Lantus and novorapid. 3. Heard about ?Actrapid HM? can it be substituted for ?Novorapid? Kindly let me know the options (I have explained to my doctor about my concerns and he does not want to take cognizance of my issues) PATIENT (Chennai)
