Lantus is a basal insulin which means it gives a fairly same level of control over approximately 24 hrs. Ryzodeg is a combination of aspart which acts quickly to control your post meal sugar, and degludec which acts over 24 hrs. Its in a fixed combination (30/70) so any change in the total dose will compulsorily change both the components in the same proportion causing hypo or hyperglycemia. Are you a type 1 diabetic? because in that case its better not to take the premixed ryzodeg. Rather lantu...more

Mr Amit, Thanks for the query.

If these parameters are achieved, invariably there will be hardly any weakness. I am sure she must be already on some vitamin...more

Some newer drugs like Degludec Insulin and Dapagliflozin are definitely more (very) expensive. Some doctors prefer those because there is a feeling that these drugs give better control or at times influenced by pharma companies. Since you are already under the treatment b any altern...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. The post lunch glucose is high. This can be controlled by 1) reducing the food intake (reduce the carb content). 2) increase the insulin dosage by 2 units or take a prandial dosage rapid acting insulin.
Another aspect is that looking at ypur weight & height with a bmi of 27.51 kg/sq meter you are over weigt and very close to become a grade 1 obesity person. Your ideal body weight should be 69 kg, which means there is an exce...more
