Dosage Information
Individualize and adjust the dosage of HUMULIN 70/30 based on the individual's metabolic needs, blood glucose monitoring results and glycemic control goal. Dosage adjustments may be needed with changes in physical activity, changes in meal patterns (i.e., macronutrient content or timing of food intake), changes in renal or hepatic function or during acute illness.
The proportion of rapid acting and long acting insulin is fixed in a premixed insulin such as HUMULIN 70/30. Independent adjustment of the basal or prandial dose is not possible when using a premixed insulin.
Physiological factors, disease states and concomitant drugs may impact the onset and duration of action of all insulins. HUMULIN 70/30 dose requirements may change with changes in level of physical activity, meal patterns (i.e., macronutrient content or timing of food intake), during major illness, or with some coadministered drugs.
