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.
When blood glucose is not well controlled, (> 180 mg/100 ml), some amount of glucose is lost in the urine. If patient has very high glucose level then more of it is lost, leading to weakness and lethargy, tiredness etc. It is important to achieve a good glucose control with fasting glucose closer to 100 mg, PP 170 to 180 mg & HbA1c% < 7. If these parameters are achieved, invariably there will be hardly any weakness. I am sure she must be already on some vitamin...more

Hello, Thanks for the query.
There are different medicines available for treating diabetes, which includes older drugs like Glimiperide, metformin cobinations, some DPP - IV inhibitors and many types of insulins. 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
