Buy Humulin 30/70 Vial online with a valid prescription and compare current listed pricing, the 100 units/mL vial presentation, and key safety basics before ordering.
Use this page to match the selected vial to your prescription, review the Humulin 30/70 Vial price factors that can affect checkout, and check whether US delivery from Canada is available for your order.
Before adding the product to checkout, confirm the insulin ratio, vial size, quantity, storage needs, and the syringe type your clinician expects you to use.
Humulin 30/70 Vial Price and Available Options
The current listed price should be compared against the exact vial presentation selected on the page. For this product, the key details are the premixed insulin format, the 100 units/mL concentration, and the quantity shown at checkout. If separate listings are available for cartridges, pens, or another vial brand, treat them as different products rather than interchangeable package choices.
Humulin 30/70 is a fixed-ratio mixed insulin. The name refers to a mixture of 30% regular human insulin and 70% insulin isophane, also called NPH insulin. The concentration of 100 units/mL tells you how many insulin units are in each milliliter, but it does not tell you your personal dose. Your prescribed number of units and timing should come from your clinician.
| Detail to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Product name and ratio | Humulin 30/70 and Humulin 70/30 references can appear in different markets; match the ratio on your prescription. |
| Concentration | 100 units/mL should be used with supplies intended for U-100 insulin unless your clinician states otherwise. |
| Vial size and quantity | Total contents are not the same as a single dose; confirm the package size and number of vials selected. |
| Presentation | A vial requires syringes, while cartridges and pens use different delivery systems. |
| Storage needs | Insulin is temperature sensitive, so handling details matter before and after delivery. |
If your selected product is a Humulin 70/30 10ml vial, the total contents are different from the amount injected at one time. A 10 mL U-100 vial contains 1,000 total units, but the usable duration depends on the prescribed dose, priming or handling loss, and the discard date in the product leaflet.
For Humulin 30/70 without insurance, compare the cash-pay amount displayed for the selected vial and review any coverage steps that apply to your order. Cash-pay and cross-border access may be considered when permitted, but the product page should still be matched to the exact insulin your prescriber wrote.
How to Order Online
Start by choosing the vial listing that matches your prescribed insulin name, ratio, concentration, and quantity. A valid prescription is required for this insulin. When needed, prescription details may be confirmed with the prescriber before checkout is completed.
- Select the presentation: choose vial, not cartridge or pen, if that is what was prescribed.
- Check the ratio: confirm 30/70 or 70/30 wording before continuing.
- Review quantity: make sure the number of vials fits the prescription order.
- Prepare prescriber details: keep clinic contact information available if confirmation is needed.
- Check supplies: make sure you have compatible syringes and safe sharps disposal.
Supporting documents may be requested for some prescription orders. This step helps confirm that the selected product matches the clinical instructions already given to you; it is not a substitute for dosing advice.
Quick tip: Keep the vial label, prescription label, and syringe package together when checking the order.
What This Premixed Insulin Is Used For
Humulin 30/70 insulin vial is used to help improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes mellitus when a prescriber has chosen a premixed human insulin. It combines regular human insulin, which has shorter-acting mealtime activity, with NPH insulin, an intermediate-acting insulin that works over a longer period.
This product is not a general replacement for every insulin regimen. Premixed insulin can reduce the number of separate insulin products some people use, but it also fixes the basal and mealtime portions in one vial. That fixed ratio is why the product name, dose timing, meal pattern, and monitoring plan all matter before ordering.
Customers comparing insulin classes can browse the Insulin Products collection, while those comparing fixed-ratio mixtures can review the Pre Mixed Insulin category. A focused overview of how mixed products work is also available in Premixed Insulin.
Vial Strength, Ratio, and Dose Details
Humulin 30/70 vial 100 units/ml is a suspension, meaning the insulin particles must be evenly mixed before use. The vial should look uniformly cloudy or milky after gentle resuspension. Do not use it if you see clumps, particles stuck to the vial, discoloration, or anything that does not match the package instructions.
Humulin 30/70 dosage is individualized. Your clinician may consider glucose readings, meal timing, activity, other medications, kidney or liver function, illness, and prior insulin use. Do not change the dose, split the schedule differently, or use a different insulin product because it looks similar online.
- Fixed ratio: the 30/70 mix cannot be adjusted separately.
- U-100 concentration: use supplies that match 100 units/mL insulin.
- Subcutaneous use: it is injected under the skin as directed.
- Meal timing: follow the timing provided by your care team.
- Missed or extra doses: ask your clinician for a clear plan in advance.
Some U.S. references use the name Humulin 70/30 for the same type of premixed human insulin ratio, listing 70% NPH and 30% regular insulin. If your prescription uses one naming style and the product label uses another, confirm the match with your prescriber before using the vial.
Why it matters: A similar insulin name can still represent a different action profile or delivery device.
Storage, Handling, and Shipping Basics
Insulin is sensitive to heat, freezing, and direct light. Unopened vials are commonly stored in a refrigerator, and any in-use storage limits should be followed from the official leaflet that comes with the product. Never use insulin that has been frozen, overheated, or kept past its discard date.
Because this is a cloudy insulin suspension, handling is part of product selection and safe use. Gently roll or invert the vial as described in the instructions until it looks evenly mixed. Shaking hard can create foam or bubbles, which may make measuring more difficult.
If you are unsure how cloudy insulin should look, the Cloudy Insulin guide can help you understand common visual checks. Visual inspection does not replace the package insert, but it can help you identify when a vial should not be used.
Use a clean syringe intended for U-100 insulin and follow the injection training provided by your clinician. Rotate injection areas within the recommended body regions to reduce the risk of lipodystrophy, which means thickened or pitted fatty tissue under the skin.
For travel, keep the vial protected from extreme temperatures and do not place insulin directly against ice packs. Cold-chain shipping may be used for temperature-sensitive insulin orders, but you should still check the package on arrival and follow the storage instructions immediately.
Safety Checks Before Using This Insulin
The most important safety risk with any insulin is hypoglycemia, which means low blood sugar. Symptoms can include sweating, shakiness, hunger, fast heartbeat, headache, confusion, weakness, blurred vision, or unusual behavior. Severe hypoglycemia can cause seizure, loss of consciousness, or death if not treated promptly.
Do not use Humulin 30/70 during an episode of low blood sugar. It should also not be used by anyone with a known allergy to human insulin or any ingredient in the product. Seek urgent medical help for signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as widespread rash, swelling of the face or throat, wheezing, dizziness, or trouble breathing.
- Common reactions: injection-site redness, itching, swelling, or mild discomfort may occur.
- Blood sugar changes: too much insulin may cause low blood sugar; too little may cause high blood sugar.
- Potassium changes: insulin can lower potassium, which may be serious in some patients.
- Skin changes: repeated injections in one area can cause lumps or tissue changes.
- Fluid retention: some diabetes medicines can increase swelling when used with insulin.
Tell your clinician about pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney disease, liver disease, heart failure, planned surgery, major diet changes, illness, or frequent low blood sugar. These factors may change monitoring needs, but dose decisions should remain with the treating professional.
Humulin 30/70 mixed insulin is not meant for intravenous use or insulin pump use. It should not be mixed with another insulin unless your clinician and the official instructions specifically support that plan.
Interactions and Monitoring
Many medicines can affect blood glucose or change how insulin works. Examples include corticosteroids, diuretics, some antidepressants, thyroid medicines, beta blockers, alcohol, and other diabetes treatments. Beta blockers may also make some warning signs of low blood sugar harder to notice.
If your care team has taught timing rules for correction doses, such as spacing rapid-acting insulin corrections, do not apply those rules to a premixed vial without guidance. Premixed insulin has a fixed action pattern, so mealtime coverage and intermediate coverage overlap differently from separate basal and bolus products.
Monitoring may include home glucose checks, A1C testing, symptom tracking, and reviewing patterns around meals, activity, illness, and sleep. Bring unexplained highs, repeated lows, or changing insulin needs to your clinician rather than adjusting the product on your own.
Compare Related Presentations
This listing is for an insulin 30/70 vial. If your prescription names a different delivery system, compare the label carefully before selecting an alternative. The Humulin 30/70 Cartridges listing may be relevant when cartridges are prescribed instead of vials.
Some customers also compare another premixed human insulin vial, such as Novolin GE 30/70 Vials, when their clinician has discussed brand options. Do not substitute one insulin for another unless your prescriber confirms the change, because onset, duration, packaging, and instructions may differ.
This page is not for Humulin 70/30 KwikPen boxes. Pen package counts can differ by market and listing, so a vial quantity should not be compared directly with a pen box or cartridge package.

What is Humulin 30/70 Vial used for?
Humulin 30/70 Vial is a premixed human insulin used to help improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes when prescribed by a clinician. It contains 30% regular human insulin and 70% NPH insulin, so it provides both shorter-acting and intermediate-acting insulin activity. It is injected under the skin as directed. Because the ratio is fixed, the dose schedule, meal timing, and monitoring plan should come from the prescribing clinician.
Is Humulin 30/70 the same as Humulin 70/30?
Humulin 30/70 and Humulin 70/30 can refer to the same premixed ratio described from different directions: 30% regular insulin and 70% NPH insulin. Naming can vary by country or label format. The safest approach is to compare the full product name, ratio, concentration, and dosage form on the vial with the prescription. If the label wording differs from what was prescribed, confirm the match with the prescriber before using it.
How should the vial look before use?
Humulin 30/70 is a cloudy insulin suspension. After gentle mixing according to the instructions, it should look uniformly cloudy or milky. Do not use the vial if it looks clear when it should be cloudy, contains clumps, has particles stuck to the glass, appears discolored, or has been frozen or overheated. Visual checks are only one safety step; the official leaflet should guide storage, mixing, and discard timing.
What side effects should be monitored with premixed insulin?
Low blood sugar is the key side effect to monitor with any insulin. Symptoms may include sweating, shakiness, hunger, confusion, fast heartbeat, headache, weakness, or blurred vision. Injection-site redness, swelling, itching, or skin thickening can also occur. Serious allergic reactions are uncommon but need urgent care, especially with facial swelling, breathing trouble, widespread rash, or dizziness. Repeated low blood sugar, unexplained high readings, or changing symptoms should be discussed with a clinician.
What should I ask my clinician before using a premixed vial?
Ask how many units to use, when to inject in relation to meals, what to do if a meal is delayed, and how to handle missed or extra doses. It is also useful to ask which glucose readings should prompt a call, how to manage sick days, and whether other medicines could affect blood sugar. If you are switching from pens, cartridges, or another insulin, confirm the device supplies and dosing instructions before the first vial dose.
How many pens are in a Humulin 70/30 box?
Pen package counts depend on the specific Humulin 70/30 pen product and market, and this listing is for a vial rather than a pen box. A vial, cartridge, and pen are different presentations with different supplies and handling steps. Do not estimate a vial quantity from a pen package count. Match the dosage form on the prescription and review the package size shown on the specific product label.
What can I discuss if insulin is hard to afford?
If insulin costs are difficult to manage, discuss options with a clinician, pharmacist, or benefits provider before skipping doses or stretching a vial. Possible topics include formulary alternatives, human insulin options, patient assistance programs, cash-pay estimates, and whether a clinically appropriate substitute exists. Any switch between insulin products should be supervised because timing, action profile, concentration, and delivery device can affect blood sugar control.
