NOVOLIN 70/30 Information : Insulin is a hormone that helps the body turn the food we eat into energy. Also, NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin helps us store energy that we can use later. After we eat, NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin works by causing gucose to go from the blood stream into cells to store fat, sugar, and protein. When we need more energy between meals, insulin will helps to metabloize fat, sugar, and protein into an energy source for the body. This occurs whether we make our own insulin in the pancreas gland or take NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin by injection.
Diabetes mellitus is charachterised in the body when sufficient insulin is not made, or is not available to meet the needs of the body (or does not properly use the insulin it makes).
The amount of NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin you use must be balanced against the amount and type of food you eat and the amount of exercise you do. If you change your diet, your exercise, or both without changing your insulin dose, your blood glucose level can drop too low or rise too high. A prescription is not necessary to purchase NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin. However, your doctor must first determine your NOVOLIN 70/30 insulin needs and provide you with special instructions for control of your diabetes.
All types of insulin must be injected because, if taken by mouth, insulin is destroyed in the stomach.
