What Is Novolin GE 30/70 PenFill Cartridge?
Novolin GE 30/70 is a brand-name premixed insulin manufactured by Novo Nordisk. It combines two types of human insulin in a single cartridge:
- 30% Regular Insulin (short-acting): controls blood sugar spikes at mealtime with onset in 30 minutes, peak at 2–3 hours, and duration of 6–8 hours
- 70% NPH Insulin (intermediate-acting): provides sustained coverage between meals and overnight with onset in 1–2 hours, peak at 4–12 hours, and duration of 14–24 hours
This dual-action formula eliminates the need to manually mix separate insulin types, reducing the risk of dosing errors and simplifying your daily routine. If you are currently using other insulin medications, talk to your doctor about whether Novolin GE 30/70 may be a suitable option.

Who Should Use Novolin GE 30/70?
Novolin GE 30/70 is indicated for adults (18 years and older) with type 2 diabetes who need insulin therapy. Your doctor may recommend this medication if:
- Oral medications alone are not controlling your blood sugar (HbA1c above 8.5%)
- You prefer a simple, twice-daily dosing schedule over a basal-bolus regimen
- You want a premixed formulation that eliminates manual insulin mixing
Novolin GE 30/70 Is Not Suitable For
- Type 1 diabetes (requires rapid-acting and long-acting insulin)
- Diabetic ketoacidosis (requires IV insulin)
- Episodes of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
- Patients under 18 years of age
How to Use Novolin GE 30/70 PenFill Cartridge
Follow these steps each time you administer your dose. If you are new to insulin pens, you may find it helpful to read our guide on how to read an insulin syringe for additional context on dosing.
- Prepare: Wash hands. Check that the insulin is not cloudy, discolored, or contains particles. Allow the cartridge to reach room temperature (about 15 minutes).
- Insert Cartridge: Load the PenFill cartridge into your NovoPen device. Attach a new insulin needle (31G–32G, 4 mm–8 mm).
- Prime the Pen: Dial 2 units. Hold the pen upright, tap gently to remove air bubbles, and press the button until insulin appears at the needle tip.
- Inject: Dial your prescribed dose. Insert the needle into fatty tissue (abdomen, thigh, or buttock). Press the button completely and hold for 6 seconds before withdrawing.
- After Injection: Remove and safely discard the needle. Cap the pen and store appropriately.
Important: Inject 30 minutes before your meal. Rotate injection sites to prevent lipodystrophy. If you miss a dose, take it within 1 hour of your meal; skip the dose if more than 1 hour has passed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Plavix stay in your system?
The drug itself clears from the body within about 24 hours. However, its effect on platelets lasts a full 5 days because each affected platelet remains inactive for the rest of its lifespan.
Can I stop taking Plavix on my own?
No. Stopping Plavix without medical guidance sharply increases your risk of a blood clot, heart attack, or stroke. Always consult your prescribing physician before discontinuing.
Is it safe to take Plavix with aspirin?
Yes, dual antiplatelet therapy (Plavix plus low-dose aspirin) is a standard regimen after stent placement or an acute coronary event. Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration.
What foods should I avoid while on Plavix?
Grapefruit and alcohol both raise bleeding risk and should be limited. Garlic supplements can have a similar effect, so check with your doctor before taking them.
