Novo Nordisk's brand name for 30% R/neutral insulin and 70% NPH/isophane crystal insulin[1]. This is an intermediate-acting insulin.
Other comparable insulins are: Novolin 70/30, Humulin 70/30[2], Mixtard 30[3][4][5][6] Humulin M3[7][8][9], Umuline Profil 30, Huminsulin Profil III, Humulina 30/70, Humuline 30/70, Insuman Comb 30, Winthrop Comb 30 and ReliOn/Novolin 70/30.
Mixed insulins cover a wide range as they can be animal origin, r-DNA/GE/GM origin or analog insulins. They can also vary in the fraction (amount or percent) of the two types (R/neutral and NPH/isophane) of insulin used to make a non-analog mix, and in the percentage of fast/rapid-acting analog insulin and slower-acting protamine suspended analog insulin.
For some reason, those in the US choose to list the slower, NPH/isophane based insulin fraction first, such as Humulin or Novolin 70/30. The rest of the world gives the faster insulin top billing and the result is 30/70. Regardless of how this is written, it means that the insulin is made up of 70% NPH/isophane insulin and 30% R/neutral insulin.
The most common mixes are 70/30 (30/70) (non analog) or 75/25 (25/75) (analog). There are no currently-marketed mixes which combine insulins of different origins. Eli Lilly's form of beef/pork Iletin and Novo Nordisk's Lentard were discontinued some time ago. Here are the most common ones that could cause confusion:
