In terms of action, the short-acting component of Novolin 70/30 begins to lower blood sugar within 30 minutes after injection. Peaking at about 2-3 hours, and continues to work for approximately 6-8 hours. Conversely, the NPH component starts to act in about 1-2 hours. It has a peak effect occurring around 4-12 hours, and lasting up to 24 hours. Making Novolin 70/30 suitable for controlling postprandial (after meal) blood glucose levels while also providing a stable baseline throughout the day. Furthermore, the vial is designed for use with a syringe, allowing for precise dosage adjustments.

To ensure the stability and effectiveness of Novolin 70/30, the vial should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Once it is in use, it can be kept at room temperature for up to 28 days. Additionally, protect the vial from light and avoid freezing it, as freezing can damage the insulin.
