"I have used Humulin NPH since I was a kid back in 1985. I have tried other medications, but none have worked for my body. Only Humulin NPH works. It works all day long and I only need to take one shot a day. I rate Humulin NPH a 10 out of 10."

"I have been using Lily NPH insulin since 1984 and have found it very effective, with minor adjustments, over the years. When I was taking Novo Nordisk's version of NPH, my unit requirement nearly doubled, and I never found it as effective as Eli Lilly."

"I was pleasantly surprised when Relion Novolin R worked as well as it did. I was forced to switch to this insulin because Medicare and Humana don't cover my U100 Type R regular insulin, which I've been taking for 45 years! This insulin is a fraction of the cost and works well enough. Wish there were more companies that weren't so tied up in corporate greed!"

"I am not pleased with the company. On the morning of September 24, I accidentally dropped a bottle of Novolin N, and the bottom broke out. I understand that it was my fault the bottle was dropped, but being a diabetic for 31 years, I know I have dropped other bottles. This is the first time I have ever had a bottle break. I called the company wanting them to understand that their product, which even children use, did not withstand a 4-foot drop onto a throw rug on a tiled kitchen floor. The lady I talked to did not even want to listen to the rest of the story. She heard I dropped the bottle, and then she wanted to tell me that it was my fault. I get that... I dropped the bottle. But what about the safety issue for those who use their product?"

"Have used this type of insulin for several years now. My A1C is good, and the cost is $25 per bottle at Walmart."
