What is Humulin® 70/30?
Humulin 70/30 is a premixed insulin formulation that contains 70% NPH insulin (intermediate-acting insulin) and 30% regular insulin (short-acting insulin). It is used to control high blood sugar for adults with diabetes.
Insulin should be part of a diabetes treatment program that also includes exercise, diet, weight loss, and blood sugar testing. Follow your doctor and pharmacist’s instructions closely.
Humulin 70/30 insulin is available in different forms, including:
- Humulin 70/30 U-100 vial
- Humulin® 70/30 KwikPen®
Humulin 70/30 is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) using specific syringes marked for U-100 insulin. Humulin 70/30 and U-100 insulins contain 100 units/mL. Be sure to use a syringe marked with U-100.
This combination of insulin isophane and insulin regular starts working within 10-20 minutes after injection, peaks in 2-4 hours, and typically provides glucose-lowering activity for up to 18-24 hours.
