"In around 10 years of using this, I am overall happy with the results. The only issue I had was having unpredictable results for a period of time while dealing with long haul Covid. Other than that, it works great for me."

"Have been using Novolin R for about 10 years now and quite satisfied. You do want to talk to your doctor about using it, and you may have to adjust your dosage which is true for every type of diabetic product. It does kick in a little later than other brands, and that is part of the adjustment that may be needed. Also, your body chemistry, weight, and food consumption will affect dosage..Talk to your Doctor about how to adjust. The cost savings with this brand is huge...but you need to do some homework"
