You can add alpha glucosidase inhibitor to control PP after consulting your doctor. You can also switch to basal plus tnsulin therapy consulting your physician/ diabetologist/ endocrinologist by adding short acting insulin before largest meal. Yes you can switch to wockhardt or lupin brand for economic reason otherwise they are not superior what you are already taking.

Mixtard has both long-acting and fast-acting insulin. So the fast-acting might cover your meal, but the long-acting will continue to drop blood sugar for 6+ hours. If you're taking both lantus and mixtard you are doubling up on your basal insulin. Lantus (insulin glargine) is effective, long-acting insulin that provides all-day blood sugar control, but it can cause low blood sugar levels, so be sure to have a source of sugar nearby.

It's generic version of lantus. Dose conversion is 1 unit lantus equals 1 unit basalog.
Some patients do develop high sugars after changing from lantus to basalog.
So adjust dose after changing insulin based on your fasting sugars.

Yes, as lantus has long action, so nothing to do either you take before or after meal. But don't skip your meal ever and follow meal chart. Good day.

every insulin has it's time of action. for example human mustard 30/70 has 12 hrs of action or actrapid has 6-8hrs , novorapid 4 hrs humalog 4 hrs humalog mix25/75 has 12hrs lantus (glargine) has 24 hrs etc..
after it is finished then sugars will start rising again and need another shot.

The use of lantus can be combined with either a short acting or intermediate acting insulin depending upon the sugar values and its your doctor judgement to decide the dosage because short actings effects will last for three hours and intermediate effects will last for eight hours.

There's no fit for all insulins, both the types have different ways of working and controlling sugar levels.
