I have to use this mix until tomorrow afternoon because my pump went caput on me today.
What are the peaks on this mix of insulin?
I took it shortly before i switched to lantus and humalog and then was put on the pump. But it's been years sent i took it.
If anyone can help give me a refresher course on Novolin 70/30 mix please do:driver:

NPH insulin is an insulin with an intermediate duration of action. It has an onset of action starting about 2 hours following injection. It has a peak effect 4-12 hours after injection, and a duration of action of 18-26 hours.
