Mr. lybrate-user, There is brand by name "Mixtard 30/70 InnoLet 3 ml injection. Usually concerned company persons do visit and explain how to use the Insulin Pens. So while buying it from the local chemist ask him to send the particular company representative to demonstrate the usage. The cartridges are 3 ml while vial is bigger. So please get all the details before switching over. Pens are definitely much easier to use. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the query, it is too general. There's no mention of blood glucose levels (either fasting or PP) and HbA1c%, so it is difficult to understand the situation. please give correct information including his diet and exercise being done. Then I will be able to guide. Thanks.

Mr Vijay, For T1 DM only medicine that works is Insulin injection world over. There is no other drug that can hepl in this condition. He has to be counseled to manage his insulin dosage and food intake. For a young person it is quite tough, but there is no alternative. In fact in bigger hospitals usually there is a group of T1 diabetes patients who meet regularly and discuss about problems related to kids with T1DM. That will be very helpful for him.
