Humulin vs Novolin
 | Humulin |  | Novolin |  |
| Insulin regular is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This man-made insulin product is the same as human insulin. It replaces the insulin that your body would normally make. It is a short-acting insulin. It works by helping blood sugar (glucose) get into cells so your body can use it for energy. This medication is usually used in combination with a medium- or long-acting insulin product. This medication may also be used alone or with other oral diabetes drugs (such as metformin). | Insulin regular is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with diabetes.

| Add Humulin review I was previously injecting 20 units of Humalog three times daily along with 100 units of Levemir, also twice daily. My endo took me off those two and switched me to Humulin R at 22 units twice daily and within 36 hours my blood sugars were in the normal range. Absolutely thrilled with the results. Being able to use the shorter 30 unit syringe has also been a blessing for portability when traveling. went from 6 shots a day to 3. Immediate results in high sugars begining first week of use. | Add Novolin review | |||
