Typical dosage for Novolin R

The Novolin R dose is different for everyone. Your diabetes care team will find the right dose for you based on your blood sugar levels and how your body responds to insulin. They can adjust your dose to help your blood sugar levels stay within a target range.

In general, Novolin R is injected under the skin about 30 minutes before each meal. It's injected under the skin into the fatty tissue of your stomach, thigh, buttocks, or upper arm.

Note: Novolin R U-100 (insulin regular 100 units/mL) can be used to help control blood sugar for people who are in the hospital. In this case, a healthcare professional gives the insulin as an injection through the vein (IV).
