WHAT ARE NOVOLIN GE 30 / 70 VIAL?
Insulin Novolin GE 30/70 is a remedy with isophane, a medium-acting insulin, identical to human insulin to control high blood sugar in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The medicine contains a unique mixture of regular human insulin (30% of the solution) and 70% NPH insulin (70%).
USES
Combination isophane/regular insulin is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This man-made insulin product is the same as human insulin. It replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. It is a mixture of 70% intermediate-acting insulin (isophane) and 30% short-acting insulin (regular). It starts to work as quickly as regular insulin but lasts longer. This insulin product works by helping blood sugar (glucose) get into cells so your body can use it for energy. This product may be used alone or with other oral diabetes drugs (such as metformin).
