As your doctor, I strongly advise against self-medicating. Your symptoms of leg weakness and fragile skin can be serious complications of diabetes, such as diabetic neuropathy, poor circulation, or nutritional deficiencies, and require a proper medical evaluation. Please do not start any supplements without consulting your endocrinologist, as they can affect your kidney function or interact with your insulin. Your doctor may check your Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and electrolyte levels, and might prescribe targeted therapies like Alpha-Lipoic Acid if neuropathy is confirmed. For now, monitor your blood sugar closely, keep your skin well-moisturized, avoid injury, and schedule an appointment with your doctor promptly.

Given your high HbA1c of 11.2% and history of urine ketones, you likely have insulin-dependent diabetes. Your current Novorapid insulin is vital to keep your blood sugars stable and prevent a life-threatening condition called Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). There is no scientific evidence that homoeopathic medicines can replace insulin or manage your condition safely. Please do not stop, reduce, or replace your prescribed insulin with homoeopathic remedies, as this poses severe risks to your life. Always consult your endocrinologist before making any changes to your treatment plan.

NovoRapid contains insulin aspart, a rapid-acting insulin. Suitable alternatives within the same class include other rapid-acting insulins like Humalog (insulin lispro), Admelog (insulin lispro), and Apidra (insulin glulisine). Another close alternative is Fiasp, which is a faster-acting formulation of insulin aspart. While these medications function similarly to manage blood sugar spikes around meals, they are not exact generic equivalents. You must consult your doctor or endocrinologist before switching, as your dose, timing, and blood sugar monitoring may need to be adjusted safely.

To manage Type 1 diabetes effectively and prevent complications, you should undergo these routine health checks: HbA1c Test: Every 3 to 6 months to monitor average blood sugar levels. Annual Eye Exam: Dilated retinal screening to check for diabetic retinopathy. Kidney Function: Annual urine microalbumin and blood creatinine tests. Foot Exam: Annual professional check for nerve damage (neuropathy) and blood flow. Cardiovascular Health: Yearly blood pressure check and lipid (cholesterol) panel. Thyroid Screening: Periodic blood tests, as other autoimmune conditions can co-occur. Regular consultations with your endocrinologist are essential to safely manage your NovoRapid insulin regimen.
