Insulin resistance

My hba1c is 5.8 fasting sugar 99. Fasting insulin 12. Is this prediabetic. What to do to control it from now.

Diabetes with Chronic Pancreatitis

I previously used Toujeo 12 units at night + Actrapid 18-18-18. I stopped Toujeo approximately 3 months ago because of cost. My current glucose is around 350–370 mg/dL and HbA1c is 12.6%. I had DKA in 2024. I need a lower-cost basal insulin, preferably a vial. Please prescribe the appropriate insulin and dose.

Forgot to mention clonidine before start

My psychiatrist currently has me taking clonidine for sleep. Another doctor recently prescribed clomiphene, but I forgot to mention that I am already taking clonidine. Should I contact the doctor and inform them about the clonidine before taking the first dose of clomiphene, or is this combination generally considered okay? I’m mainly concerned about whether there could be any interaction or blood-pressure-related issue between the two medicines.
