100 units of either or both seem quite high especially coupled with your BS. Maybe ask for a separate basal bolus? I could never control with basal randomly peaking etc. I like to be able to keep basal the same and inject for meals and corrections. I can see where mixed would be a problem.
Ok bad/dumb question but what does your A1C convert to in US? Sounds very high and that they are not looking after your best interest?
Mine was high from the start Kristin but obviously I tried the meds first but Metformin wasn't for me .One of my problems is I have other health problems which all require medications that seem to be listed as having an effect on Insulin .Thiazides ect .My lowest readings were when I read Dr Fung on the fasting post here and started fasting .I got them as low as 9.1 mm one day but just before Christmas my stomach started playing up and since then I've been off my food but my BS. have shot back up :-( Seems to be average 16.5 but that was two weeks ago and doesn't correspond with my readings on my meter for the last two weeks .I need it back down ,I feel like hell .
