Sir doctor changed my father's insulin pen, because my father face high blood sugar. First he used novorapid flex pen three times a day and lantus solostar once in a day Doctor replaced novostar with edlucent mix 25. What is difference between novorapid and edlucent.

Novorapid is a short, rapid acting insulin that is typically given in 3 shots/ day (called Bolus insulins shots), with each major meal. It is more convenient to give this insulin in the hospital, when patients are admitted for infection/ surgery/ procedures/ delivery etc. Eglucent Mix 25 is a premixed insulin that contains two components; 25% of short, rapid acting and 75% of intermediate acting insulins. This needs to be taken only twice daily and hence, more convenient for the out patient.
