### output:

Hello have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You actually have a basal-bolus injection regimen with 28 UI long acting insulin twice a day and 15 UI before each meal. This means that your total insulin doses is 101 UI/day. You need a large daily doses of insulin to control your diabetes, so in these circumstances it is not recommended to change the regimen of inline therapy and to start using Humalog 75/25.(You can discuss the problem of prescription coverage with your treating endocrinologist and find a way how to solve this problem.) Humalog Mix75/25 is a mixture of insulin bistro solution, a rapid-acting insulin and insulin bistro protamine suspension, an intermediate-acting blood glucose-lowering agent. This insulin is used with another insulin regimen(different from your actual insulin regimen) that in my opinion is not the right choice to control your diabetes, for the moment. So, My answer is :No, You can not use Humalog 25/75 for the moment.Don't change your insulin regimen without your treating doctor opinion. It can be harmful. Hope this is helpful. Best regards.
