My father is 81 years of age and is diabetic for last 15 years .Previously he was using human mixtard insulin but for last 6 months hes taking apidra insulin injections. Recently he had a bout of low sugar level so one of my friends said that apidra should be taken with mixtard alternately and only about should not be taken. Please advise regarding this.
