[QUOTE="jonathan183, post: 2533893, member: 491092"] If you want greater flexibility then you would be better with separate long acting and short acting insulin. The long acting would then provide the basal insulin requirements and the short acting covers meals and high blood glucose correction. It would require more injections but should provide better control and flexibility. You may still find that you struggle to control blood glucose with high carbohydrate meals in part because the insulin you inject takes considerably longer to take effect than the insulin your pancreas produces. It is probably worth talking with your support team what options you have and the concerns you have with the current mixed insulin treatment you are on. [/QUOTE]
