Hello, Thanks for the query. The Insulin Mixtard contains a fast acting & a slow acting insulin in combination. If the Insulin given by your company has such a combination (30/70, 50/50), then it is fine. But if it is only a rapid acting insulin only, then it may not meet the requirement as suggested by your doctor. Thanks.
