My reaction is that you need to move to Basal/Bolus; typically Levemir and Novorapid. Your current insulin regime sounds very strange to me and I wonder what the GP's strategy is? As you say he accepts he knows little about insulin, I would ask again to go Basal/Bolus and if neceesary ask to be referred to someone else. NICE now suggests Levemir as the default Basal and NovoRapid is by far the most common rapid. Mixed insulins are really for T2s with diabetes that isn't very advanced or for people who can't cope with more than 2 injections per day. I'm on Basal/Bolus and most days have only 3 injections.
