I'm really worried about my mom's diabetes treatment. She used to be on Ryzodeg 20 units and Human Actrapid 8 units, but because Ryzodeg is so expensive, our doctor suggested we switch to Lantus with the same dosage. I'm not sure if this substitute and dosage are the right decision for her condition. Could you please advise on whether this is the right approach?
