Can it be used as substitute for mixtard 30 ?

Huminsulin 30/70 and Mixtard 30 are both premixed human insulin products with the same 30/70 ratio, containing 30% short acting human insulin and 70% intermediate acting insulin, so they are similar and are sometimes used interchangeably. However, any switch between insulin brands or formulations should be done only under a doctor’s supervision, as even slight differences in formulation, absorption, and individual response can affect blood sugar control, and dose adjustments may be required. Always consult your healthcare provider before substituting one insulin product for another.

I've taken Huminsulin 30/70 twice a day, but my fasting is 230 and post-prandial is 286. I take 32 units before breakfast and 35 before dinner.

These results indicate that Huminsulin 30/70 is not effectively regulating your blood sugar levels; therefore, you should reevaluate your insulin regimen instead of increasing your dosage. For improved fasting and post-meal management, speak with a diabetologist about modifying timing, injection method, diet, or switching to a basal-bolus regimen.

My father has type 1 diabetes. Someone suggested Metformin 500 mg and Huminsulin 30/70 (20 units) morning and evening. He has been using Dibimet 500 mg and Metformin 500 mg for years but has no control. What should we do?

Metformin alone cannot control type 1 diabetes; therefore, insulin is necessary, and a diabetologist must modify the kind and dosage based on blood sugar monitoring. A correct insulin regimen (basal-bolus or mixed) and frequent glucose checks are necessary to ensure safe control,?do not switch to Huminsulin 30/70 on your own.

My blood sugar is consistently uncontrolled: fasting 210 and after breakfast 350. Im on Huminsulin mix 30/70 (30 and 20).

Your insulin dose, timing, or type has to be adjusted because these readings indicate poor control. Instead of increasing doses on your own, you should contact a diabetologist very away. Sugar levels can be safely lowered by regular self-monitoring, appropriate injection technique, and?meal planning.

I need a prescription for Huminsulin 30/70 cartridge and Covance D, which I've been using for the last 8 years as advised by my doctor.

Since insulin and diabetic medications need to be provided by a licensed physician after assessing your blood sugar levels, I am unable to write a prescription. Since long-term use may require dose modifications, please visit your treating physician or a nearby clinic to obtain a fresh prescription.

I'm taking Huminsulin 30/70 twice daily, 28 units in the morning and 18 units at night with Melmet 1000 for the past three months, but my post-prandial reading is 190. How can I control it?

A post-meal reading of 190 indicates that your insulin timing, dosage, or meal composition may need to be adjusted because premixed insulin occasionally has poor post-prandial spike control. If necessary, discuss dose titration, cutting back on high-carb foods, or changing to a basal-bolus regimen with your diabetologist.
