The American Diabetes Association recommends that if your premeal glucose levels are consistently above 140 mg/ dL or your hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is more than 8%, consult your doctor. A change in your diabetes therapy may be needed. If your blood tests consistently show below-normal glucose levels, you should also let your doctor know. Proper control of your diabetes requires close and constant cooperation with your doctor. Despite diabetes, you can lead an active and healthy life if you eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and take your insulin injections as prescribed. Always keep an extra supply of insulin as well as a spare syringe and needle on hand. Always wear diabetic identification so that appropriate treatment can be given if complications occur away from home. Text Continues Below
70/ 30 HUMAN INSULIN Description Humulin is synthesized in a non-disease-producing special laboratory strain of Escherichia coli bacteria that has been genetically altered by the addition of the human gene for insulin production. Humulin 70/ 30 is a mixture of 70% Human Insulin Isophane Suspension and 30% Human Insulin Injection. It is an intermediate-acting insulin combined with the more rapid onset of action of regular insulin. The duration of activity may last up to 24 hours following injection. The time course of action of any insulin may vary considerably in different individuals or at different times in the same individual. As with all insulin preparations, the duration of action of Humulin 70/ 30 is dependent on dose, site of injection, blood supply, temperature, and physical activity. Humulin 70/ 30 is a sterile suspension and is for subcutaneous injection only. It should not be used intravenously or intramuscularly. The concentration of Humulin 70/ 30 in the Humulin 70/ 30 Pen is 100 units/ mL (U-100). Identification Humulin disposable insulin delivery devices, manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company, are available in 2 formulations — NPH and 70/ 30. Your doctor has prescribed the type of insulin that he/ she believes is best for you. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER INSULIN EXCEPT ON HIS/ HER ADVICE AND DIRECTION. Page: << Prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Next >>
