Insulin
Suggested Use
Humulin 70/30 is primarily indicated for:
- Improving glycemic control in adults diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
- It works by stimulating peripheral glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and fat, while inhibiting hepatic glucose production, thereby lowering blood glucose levels
Dosage:
The recommended administration guidelines include:
- Route: Only for subcutaneous use (in the abdominal wall, thigh, upper arm, or buttocks).
- Timing: Administer approximately 30-45 minutes before meals.
- Dosage Adjustment: Individualize based on metabolic needs and blood glucose monitoring results. Adjustments may be necessary due to physical activity changes, meal patterns, or other medications.
Warning
- Hypoglycemia: The most common side effect; patients should monitor blood sugar regularly and be aware of symptoms (e.g., dizziness, sweating, confusion).
- Allergic Reactions: Rare but serious reactions may include rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
- Medication Errors: Ensure the correct insulin product is used to prevent overdose or underdose.
- Insulin Pen Use: Use the pen only as instructed. Do not share insulin pens between patients to avoid cross-contamination.
- Storage: Store unused pens in the refrigerator (2 °C–8 °C). Do not freeze. Once in use, pens may be kept at room temperature and should be used within 28 days.
- Pregnancy and Lactation: Use with caution; consult a healthcare provider to adjust the dose as needed during pregnancy.
- Drug Interactions: Inform the doctor of all medications being taken, as certain drugs (e.g., beta-blockers, corticosteroids) may affect insulin efficacy.
Notes:
- Always follow the healthcare provider’s instructions on insulin usage.
- Ensure proper technique for injection to minimize complications.
- Carry quick sources of sugar (e.g., glucose tablets, candies) to manage hypoglycemia if it occurs.
