Hi there!

It is not advised to interchange the type of insulin without medical recommendation and prescription. Only under medical supervision, it is advisable to start at the lowest dose for fear of hypoglycemia and check the blood sugar levels at the described peaks and gradually taper the dose to reach at appropriate levels.

Take care!
