Question : In laymans terms... what is 70/30 insullin as it compares with r and n
Brief Answer:
short acting regular 70% long acting basal 30%
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. This is a combination of regular short acting insulin and long acting basal insulin . Regular is 70 % and basal is 30 %. This is not an ideal combination and should be avoided. Regular should be taken alone before meals and basal before bed time. However due to many limitations like needle phobia or compliance issues , these need to be done like an necessary evil in situations specially In countries with less resources like subcontinent etc.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
