Disulin 30/70 is a biphasic insulin suspension consisting of 30% soluble (rapid-acting) insulin and 70% isophane (intermediate-acting) insulin. It works by mimicking the body’s natural insulin response: the 30% soluble component acts quickly to handle the "sugar spike" immediately after a meal, while the 70% isophane component provides a steady, prolonged release to control blood glucose levels between meals and throughout the night. This "pre-mixed" combination reduces the number of daily injections required for comprehensive 24-hour glycemic control.
In Nigeria, Disulin 30/70 is a premier clinical choice for patients with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes requiring intensive insulin therapy. It is available through registered pharmacies like Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure patients receive authentic, high-stability vials or pens. The "Cold Chain" Rule: Insulin must be stored in a refrigerator (between 2°C and 8°C) until first use. Once in use, it can be kept at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to 28 days, away from direct heat and sunlight.
Important: This is a high-alert, life-sustaining medication. The "Hypoglycemia" Rule: You must always carry a fast-acting sugar source (glucose tabs, honey, or juice) to treat "low sugar" (shaking, sweating, confusion). The "Timing" Warning: Because it contains a rapid-acting component, you MUST eat within 15 to 30 minutes of injecting. Skipping a meal after injection can lead to a dangerous, life-threatening drop in blood sugar. Do not use if the insulin appears clumped or does not become a uniform milky-white suspension after mixing.
Disulin 30/70 Insulin Injections are primarily used to:
Manage blood glucose levels in adults and children with Type 1 Diabetes
Control high blood sugar in patients with Type 2 Diabetes who no longer respond to oral tablets
Provide both "Prandial" (mealtime) and "Basal" (background) insulin coverage in one shot
Reduce the risk of long-term diabetic complications like blindness, kidney failure, and limb amputation
Simplify insulin regimens by reducing the need to mix different insulins manually
Maintain stable HbA1c levels through consistent 24-hour glucose modulation
Assist in "Tight Glycemic Control" for patients requiring precise insulin-to-carb management
This product is suitable for:
Patients whose diabetes requires a combination of fast-acting and long-acting insulin
Individuals who find it difficult to mix two types of insulin in one syringe
Patients looking for a convenient twice-daily (morning and evening) insulin routine
Not recommended for: Treating "Diabetic Ketoacidosis" (DKA), which requires strictly rapid-acting intravenous insulin. It is strictly contraindicated for patients experiencing an episode of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Use with caution in patients with severe kidney or liver disease, as insulin requirements may decrease. Consult our pharmacist if you are taking "Thiazolidinediones" (like Pioglitazone), as the combination can increase the risk of heart failure. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant; insulin is the safest and preferred method for managing gestational diabetes.
Administered strictly via subcutaneous (SC) injection into the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm
The "Mix" Rule: You must gently roll the vial or pen between your palms at least 10 times until the liquid is uniformly cloudy/milky. Do not shake vigorously.
The "Rotation" Tip: Always rotate your injection site (e.g., move 1 inch away from the last spot) to prevent "Lipodystrophy" (lumpy fat deposits under the skin).
Standard Dose: Usually injected twice daily, shortly before breakfast and the evening meal.
Storage: Keep unopened vials in the fridge. Never freeze insulin; if it freezes, it is ruined and must be discarded.
Regular blood glucose monitoring using a glucometer is mandatory to adjust your dose safely.
Disulin 30/70 is effective, but some individuals may experience:
Hypoglycemia (Low Blood Sugar): The most common side effect (dizziness, hunger, fast heartbeat)
Injection site reactions (redness, swelling, or itching)
Weight gain (common when starting insulin therapy)
Temporary blurred vision (as blood sugar stabilizes)
Edema (swelling of the ankles or feet)
Rare but serious: Severe allergic reactions (systemic rash or difficulty breathing)
Rare: Low potassium levels (Hypokalemia)
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of severe hypoglycemia (confusion, seizures, or loss of consciousness) or if you develop a severe, widespread skin rash.

What should I do if my insulin looks "clear" in the bottle?
Disulin 30/70 should always look cloudy after mixing. If the liquid remains clear after rolling, or if there are white flakes stuck to the glass, the insulin may be damaged and should not be used.
Can I inject this into my muscle (IM)?
No. Insulin must be injected into the fatty layer under the skin (subcutaneous). Injecting into the muscle makes it absorb too fast, which can cause a sudden and dangerous drop in blood sugar.
What if I forget to take my shot before breakfast?
If you realize it shortly after, take your dose and eat immediately. If many hours have passed, check your blood sugar and contact our pharmacist or your doctor for guidance—never "double" the next dose.
Where can I purchase Disulin 30/70 in Nigeria?
