How it works:
• Humulin 30/70 is a type of insulin used to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes.
  
  Insulin: This is the main active ingredient. Your body needs insulin to allow sugar (glucose) from your food to enter your cells and be used for energy. People with diabetes either don't make enough insulin or their bodies don't respond to it properly. Insulin in Humulin 30/70 replaces this missing or poorly functioning insulin.
  
  Humulin 30/70 is a mix of two types of insulin: It's a blend of 30% rapid-acting insulin (similar to how your body naturally releases insulin after eating) and 70% intermediate-acting insulin (which provides a longer-lasting effect).
  
  Rapid-acting insulin (30%): This part of the mix starts working quickly, usually within 30 minutes, to help your body use sugar from meals and snacks. This helps prevent blood sugar spikes after eating.
  
  Intermediate-acting insulin (70%): This part provides a longer-lasting background control of blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. It helps prevent blood sugar from getting too high while you're sleeping or fasting.
  
  Working together: The combination of rapid-acting and intermediate-acting insulin in Humulin 30/70 helps to provide a more consistent control of blood sugar throughout the day and night. The rapid-acting component addresses the immediate needs after eating, while the intermediate-acting component provides ongoing control. This blend is designed to mimic the body's natural insulin release more closely.
