Which Huminsulin, is it premix, or Long acting, it depends on that. Because Apidra is short acting meal time insulin. I assume that Huminsulin is long acting N preparation, if that is the case, still your lunch time insulin cover may not be there. If your blood sugars and HbA1c is under control and they are no episodes of hypoglycemia that is low blood sugar, it is fine. For further queries book an appointment.
