Novolin N (insulin isophane) "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?"

Humulin N (insulin isophane) "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 units requirement nearly doubled and I never found it as effective as Eli Lily."

Relion Novolin N (insulin isophane) "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!!"

Humulin N (insulin isophane) "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."
