Humulin 70/30 is the brand name for the mixture of human isophane insulin and human insulin, which is used to treat diabetes and was approved by the FDA in 1989. Human isophane insulin with human insulin is only available under the brand name Humulin 70/30. This synthetic product is comprised of 70 percent of intermediate acting isophane insulin and 30 percent fast-acting insulin. When insulin is injected, it passes into the blood stream and allows blood sugar, or glucose, to be transferred from the blood stream into the bodys cells to be used as energy. This results in reduced blood sugar levels. The drop in blood sugar that results from insulin makes it a good choice for treating Type 1 diabetics. Humulin 70/30 combines intermediate-acting insulin with rapid onset insulin, creating an insulin replacement that can last for up to 24 hours. Insulin must be injected into the body. Dosages vary depending on your doctors assessment of your insulin needs, but Humulin 70/30 is sold in preparations of 100 units per milliliter. Insulin must be mixed well before use.
