Achyut, this seems to have been going on a while looking at your other posts. Have you seen your Dr or nurse yet? If so what did they suggest?

Hi @achyut1939 ,

I've posted asking a couple of times on your other topics regarding this question, but have not received any answer form your good self...

From your other posts you are prescribed a pre-mixed insulin.

With some pre mixed insulins, there is a little glass ball in the cartridge or possibly the vial? This "glass ball" agitates & mixes the contents. A similar principle to a "spray can" of paint?

Though, with insulin you do not vigorously shake the contents like paint, are you doing the needful & following this procedure prior to injection? With insulin, "one" gently rolls...
If not, you may well be getting the wrong mix of insulins in your dosage...?

I hope the diagram below explains & helps.

Best wishes.

I did not consult the doctor till now. Not only my bg levels are fluctuating wildly, my total daily insulin dosage is reduced from 60 units per day to 20 units per day.

I think it is important you do then, as this seems to be an ongoing problem which seems to be worrying you and may cause problems for you if you let it carry on.
Also have you made sure you are ‘rolling’ your vial of insulin before use as @Jaylee suggests to ensure it’s mixed properly?
