I Take Lantus And Novorapid Insulin Daily. Lantus Once In

default
Posted on Thu, 6 Aug 2020
Question: I take Lantus and Novorapid insulin daily. Lantus once in the morning and Novorapid 3 times a day.

My question is instead of taking long acting and short acting insulin seperately, is there any other combination that I can take together. Also, Lantus and Novorapid are getting expensive every year, could you please suggest a less expensive version from Biocon or any other companies.

Pls. note, I am a diabetic since the age of 23.
