Exclamation Novolin 70/30 question

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
