Blood sugar control
To treat the ups and downs of blood sugar, many people take two types of insulin. One insulin that can last for up to 24 hours, and one that treats the spikes in sugar levels that happen when you eat. With NovoLog® Mix 70/30, you can take one insulin to cover both of these.*

If you’re currently taking insulin, it’s important to know your options.
