Hello dear Greetings
Regarding whether it is advisable to take novorapid instead of human actrapid for diabetes I will suggest the two medication are different in term of duration of action
Human actrapid is a short acting drug while novorapid is a long acting drug
So when you take human actrapid and the blood sugar level reduced to almost normal then you can change to novorapid
I hope this helps Regards
