Hello,
As the fasting and post prandial values are higher, insulin mixture 30/70 increase morning dose from 20 units to 24 units and night dose from 16 units to 20 units. Please check her blood sugar values after 3 days.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
