Dear sir
Humilin n is a basal nph insulin which correlates fasting insulin secretion
Secondly humilin 30/70 is premixed insulins which is a mixed insulin containing both basal and regular insulin, it controlsmboth fasting and post prandial sugars.
There is lot of difference between these two insulins. As you were earlier advised to take humilin n , now you cannot take 30/70 instead of it.
Please consult your doctor once
Thanks
