User Comments about Novolin
07 Aug 2012 i find they novolin product to be very unpredictable, ive used insulin for 42 years, my insurance has forced me to use the cheaper novolin, i find that i have to use more of it than usual, as one who would like to count on the insulin i use to work it upsetting to use this insulin just to find out its reliability is awful i have many more instances of high blood suger levels and am constantly haveng to give another injection it just dosent work as well as name brands very dissapointed with product

25 Aug 2011 Since beginning to use Novolin/Novolog - I've noticed that this medication will help to control blood glucose levels to a point. The doseage that I use is a complete floating scale - I use an insulin pump for constant insulin flow. Sure, as with any insulin product there is the danger of hypoglycemia from time to time - something all diabetics will have to live through. I've not experienced and overt amount of hyoglycemic moments. I have, however, experienced many hyperglycemic episodes while using this medication. Not only by my uncontrolability (I like granola!) but during illness and when injury occurs.

15 Jun 2011 Novoline works great for my blood glucose, the needles small and nice but i really dont like needles personally at all. Other than that this medication is great :)

07 Jul 2010 Ive been on this medication ever since I got diabetes, it has never given me any problems. I take 30 units in the morning and 15 units in the afternoon. And I have no complaints with this insulin shot.
