I have been administering Humilin 70/30 for the last 10 years. On my request, recently my doctor put me on Novomix 30 recommending the same dose as of Humilin 70/30. In the past by using Humilin 70/30, I had hypos, and BG was somewhat sometime under control especially during the evening time, but Novoflex has not shown me any sign of hypos, also glucose level is not coming under control. I am very much worried about this. Any of my friends on this forum can educate me what are possible reasons and what should I do? Thanks in anticipation for your valuable input.

Hi there,

It might be helpful if you can post some of your readings, doses and meals/snacks to help build a bigger picture?

If we know what your results are it can be simpler to spot a pattern that could indicate a good place to start?
 
Thank you ebony,
I will try to explain as under:-
NovoMix 30 : 32 units in the morning (before breakfast), 30 units in the evening (before dinner).
My usual breakfast : at around 7:30 a.m. 2 or 3 slices of bran bread with little margarine (cholesterol free) and 2 or 3 times a week one boiled egg with a cup of low fat milk daily. At around 9:30 a.m. I drink one cup of tea or mild coffee with milk.
Lunch : chicken/meat burger composed of bran bread with one small apple or an orange.
Dinner : 2 brown breads with vegetable curry or meat with salad consisting of tomato, carrot, cucumber, onion.
Readings : fasting always around 150 - 200 mmdl and random around 200 - 225 mmdl.
I am diabetic for the last 30 years.
Protein in urine has made me worried.
Hope the above will assist you in advising me what to do?
Thank you once again!
