NovoLog Mix 70/30 Dosing Guidelines

There is no "standard" NovoLog Mix 70/30 dose that will work for all people or even for the same person in all situations. NovoLog Mix 70/30 is made up of two different insulins, 70 percent intermediate-acting (insulin aspart protamine) and 30 percent rapid-acting (insulin aspart). It is taken twice a day within 15 minutes before the morning and evening meals. Each dose is intended to cover two meals or a meal and a snack.

You may be asked to measure your blood sugar before and after meals, and your healthcare provider may recommend carbohydrate counting. Both of these things can help you and your healthcare provider know how to dose your NovoLog Mix 70/30.
