I take 20 units of Human MIXTARD 30/70 insulin in the morning and 20 units in the evening. HM 30/70 is not available in medical stores and a Medical Doctor mentioned that the company is stopping production altogether.
My query is :
Can I take Huminsulin 30/70 instead of HM 30/70?
Will the dosage remain remain the same?
Thank you.

Yes, Huminsulin 30/70 can be used in place of Mixtard 30/70. Both have the same 30% regular insulin + 70% NPH combination.
In most patients, the dose remains the same, but check fasting and post-meal sugars for 2–3 days and adjust if needed.
Next Steps
Continue same timing and monitoring. If sugars fluctuate, consult your doctor for minor dose adjustment.
Health Tips
Watch for hypoglycemia, especially in the first 2–3 days after switching.

Yes. Human mica tars is more refined insuline. Hypoglycaemia is less. However you can go for human insulin’s under guidance of a doctor.
