AACE Treatment Recommendations15

Starting with a premixed insulin — recommended
by AACE

According to the most recent American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) treatment recommendations, premixed insulin analogs — like NovoLog® Mix 70/30 — are suggested as a treatment option for patients taking oral antidiabetic drugs (OADs) who have an A1C level >8.5% and are initiating insulin therapy.15

* In addition to lifestyle modifications

† For patients with an A1C level >6.5% to <8.5%, premixed insulin analogs, like NovoLog® Mix 70/30, are recommended as one of several available treatment options

  1. NovoLog® Mix 70/30 (70% insulin aspart protamine suspension and 30% insulin aspart injection, [rDNA origin]) Indications and Usage

    NovoLog® Mix 70/30 is indicated for the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus for the control of hyperglycemia.

    NovoLog® Mix 70/30 Important Safety Information

    NovoLog® Mix 70/30 is contraindicated during episodes of hypoglycemia and in patients hypersensitive to NovoLog® Mix 70/30 or one of its excipients.

    Because NovoLog® Mix 70/30 has peak pharmacodynamic activity 1 hour after injection, it should be administered with meals. Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse effect of insulin therapy, including NovoLog® Mix 70/30. As with all insulins, the timing of hypoglycemia may differ among various insulin formulations. Glucose monitoring is recommended for all patients with diabetes. Any change of insulin should be made cautiously and only under medical supervision. Changes in insulin strength, manufacturer, type, species, or method of manufacture may result in the need for a change in dosage. Potential side effects associated with the use of all insulins include hypoglycemia, hypokalemia, lipodystrophy, and allergic reactions.

    Because of differences in the action of NovoLog® Mix 70/30 and other insulins, care should be taken in patients in whom these conditions may be clinically relevant (eg, patients who are fasting, have autonomic neuropathy, are using potassium-lowering drugs, or are taking drugs sensitive to serum potassium level). Do not mix NovoLog® Mix 70/30 with any other insulin product.

    As with other insulin therapy, erythema, swelling, and pruritus at the injection site have been observed with NovoLog® Mix 70/30. Less common but more serious are severe cases of generalized allergy, including anaphylactic reaction, which may be life threatening. NovoLog® Mix 70/30 dose requirements may be reduced in the presence of renal impairment or impaired hepatic function. Changes in cross-reactive antibodies were more common after NovoLog® Mix 70/30 than with human premixed 70/30, but the clinical significance of these antibodies has not been established. Frequency of adverse events comparable with that of human 70/30. Local injection site reactions comparable with those of human 70/30.
