Manage Diabetes with Humulin 70/30 KwikPen
Humulin 70/30 (100 IU/mL) is a biosynthetic human insulin suspension used to improve blood sugar control in adults and children with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This dual-action medication is a premixed blend of 70% Insulin Isophane (NPH) and 30% Regular Human Insulin.
Dual-Action Insulin for Full-Day Coverage
The unique 70/30 formulation provides both fast-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in a single injection. The 30% regular insulin starts working within 30 minutes to manage post-meal sugar spikes, while the 70% NPH component provides a steady, prolonged effect that lasts up to 24 hours. This helps maintain stable glucose levels with fewer daily injections.
