Nisha; Human isophane insulin with human insulin is only available under the brand name Humulin 70/30. This synthetic product is comprised of 70% of intermediate-acting isophane insulin and 0% fast-acting insulin. When insulin is injected, it passes into the bloodstream and allows blood sugar or glucose to be transferred from the bloodstream into the body 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 I 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 doctor’s assessment of your insulin needs, but Humulin 70/30 is sold in preparations of a 100 units/mL. Insulin must be mixed well before use. Always use this product as directed by your doctor taking care never to miss the dose.
Insulin injections can cause irritation or redness at the insertion site and can result in low or high blood sugar levels causing dizziness or confusion. Ask your doctor for a complete list of side effects. Remember to tell your physician immediately if you experience fruity breath, rapid breathing, fainting or any other significant changes.
