Hypoglycemia: Novolin n & Novolin R are two brands of insulin. Any time you take Insulin and don't eat, you risk hypoglycemia or low blood sugars. Depending upon how low is low, you might just feel miserable, fatigued, sweaty, heart pounding, tremors, can't think straight, etc. Or you might have a seizure, pass out, or die. Talk to your doctor about why you need novolin and what to look out for.
