What Is Novolin R (Regular Insulin)?
There are several different types of insulin treatments that affect your body in a variety of ways. Some are long-acting, taken consistently (typically once a day) to help control your blood sugar over a longer period of time. Others are short acting.
Novolin R is a short acting insulin, meaning it is prescribed to be taken before or after meals to account for times during the day when your body experiences a spike in glucose levels.
Novolin R, like most short-acting insulin, is typically used in combination with long-acting insulin treatments to compensate for any remaining imbalance that may need to be corrected in order to stabilize your blood sugar levels.

How does Novolin R work?

This is because the Novolin R insulin stimulates the absorption of glucose out of your bloodstream into your muscle tissue and organs.
What Are the Associated Dosages and Treatments for Novolin R?
Novolin R dosages are based on the results of blood and urine glucose tests. Each treatment plan is highly individualized, and you must always follow your doctor's exact instructions when taking Novolin R. The greatest blood sugar lowering effect of Novolin R occurs 2.5 to 5 hours after injection.
Novolin R is administered by subcutaneous injection into the thigh, abdominal wall, upper arm, or gluteal region. The abdominal wall is the fastest means of delivery for insulin to take effect. For more information on proper injection, click here.
