A member asked:
Can a diabetic take novolin (insulin) r and novolin (insulin) n?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...: Yes, novolin R is a short acting insulin while novolin N is an intermediate acting insulin - so they can be used together. While these can be purchased over the counter in most states you should still be seeing a provider to discuss insulin needs. You should not start any insulin without the recommendation by a doctor who knows your history. Insulin overdoses can kill!
