An intermediate-acting, mixed insulin like [[Humulin 40/60]], [[Humuline 40/60]], [[Humulin M4]],   [[Humulina 40/60]], [[Penmix 40]] and [[Mixtard 40]], <ref>{{cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20080208084240/http://www.drgc.cwc.net/Care_pathway/Patient_information/Insulin/Novo_insulins.htm |title=Prescribing Novo Insulins}}</ref> of 40% R/neutral insulin and 60% NPH/isophane insulin <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharmaceutical/b2.1.monographs/CPS-%20Monographs/CPS-%20(General%20Monographs-%20H)/HUMULIN.html |title=Humulin 40/60|publisher=Rxmed}}</ref> made by [[Eli Lilly]]. Huminsulin Profil IV, like [[Mixtard 40]], <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/EPAR_-_Scientific_Discussion/human/000428/WC500029819.pdf |title=Scientific Discussion-Mixtard|publisher=EMEA}}</ref> contains 60% [[isophane]] insulin crystals.

Mixtard 40 was discontinued December 31, 2007. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ukmicentral.nhs.uk/therapeu/pace/PACE0604.pdf |title=Insulin Discontinuations-UK|publisher=NHS}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshirediabetes.com/downloads/A4Humandis.pdf |title=Chart of Discontinued Novo Human Insulins|publisher=Novo Nordisk}}</ref> Humulin 40/60 is also no longer available.

[[Mixed insulins]] cover a wide range as they can be [[:Category:Origin|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:
