Insulin 70 30 Definition
A mixture of two types of insulin consisting of 70 percent long-acting insulin suspension and 30 percent rapid-acting insulin. Typically administered twice a day, insulin 70/30 controls postprandial glycemia and allows convenient mealtime dosing. The long-acting insulin component controls blood glucose levels between meals. Endogenous human insulin, a pancreatic hormone composed of two polypeptide chains, is important for the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats; it has anabolic effects on many types of tissues.
