Medical Description
Human Mixtard 30/70 injection contains insulin isophane which is a prolonged-acting and human insulin which is a short-acting insulin. It provides a fast as well as a longer duration effect, thus helps to maintain blood sugar levels. Human Mixtard 30/70 injection is used with other blood sugar-lowering medicines in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The medicine helps to maintain optimum blood sugar levels in diabetic patients. Insulin must be injected at least 15 mins before or within 20 min of starting the meal. You must never skip the meal or the dose of insulin. Keep on rotating the site of insulin administration.

Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Insulin is an important hormone that allows the entry of blood glucose into each cell of the body. Inside the cell, glucose is used as fuel.
- In type 1 diabetes mellitus, the body fails to produce adequate insulin and leads to glucose accumulation in the blood and causes high blood glucose.
- The medicine lowers blood sugars by stimulating glucose uptake by cells, tissue and muscles, by skeletal muscles and fat and inhibits glucose production by the liver.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- You may develop symptoms of low blood sugar if you are taking other medicines for diabetes, depression (fluoxetine), medicines for fever and pain (salicylates), ramipril, lisinopril.
- You may suffer from high blood sugar if you are taking oral contraceptives, thiazide, steroids, thyroxine, medicines used to treat diarrhoea and abnormal growth of body organs like octreotide, lanreotide, etc.
- If you are using the medicine pioglitazone to treat diabetes, be cautious, as some cases of heart attacks and heart failures have been reported.
- Some medicines block the body's response to low blood sugar, so you may not experience symptoms like headache, hunger pangs, sweating, anxiety when the blood sugar drops. It leads to a fall in blood sugar. Inform the doctor if you are taking medicines like Beta-blockers (Metoprolol, Propranolol, Atenolol), Clonidine, Guanethidine and Reserpine.
