Diasulin Injection 30%+70% is a premixed insulin formulation combining 30% Regular Insulin Human (rapid-acting) and 70% Isophane Insulin Human (NPH, intermediate-acting) at a concentration of 100 IU/ml. This combination provides both rapid postprandial glucose control and extended basal coverage, making it ideal for patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus who require balanced insulin therapy. The higher proportion of intermediate-acting insulin ensures longer-lasting basal glycemic control throughout the day.
