Captain Novolin

Captain Novolin moves through side-scrolling platform stages while collecting suitable food and avoiding hazards. The central objective is to keep his blood-glucose level within a safe range while reaching the end of each stage and rescuing hostages. Food items display nutritional information, requiring the player to consider carbohydrates before eating. Players also monitor insulin and glucose through the status display; careless choices can make Novolin too high or too low. The game includes advice and quizzes that reinforce diabetes-management lessons between platforming sections.

Read every food label before collecting an item, and favor choices that keep carbohydrate intake consistent rather than simply taking everything on screen. Check the glucose and insulin indicators frequently, especially after eating. Treat the platforming sections as medical-management puzzles: avoid unnecessary damage, learn hazard placement, and do not rush past instructional prompts. Use the information provided by the game to understand when insulin or food is appropriate.

Check carbohydrate information before eating food.

Monitor blood glucose and insulin instead of treating the game as a normal platformer.

Read the instructional prompts; they explain the medical decisions required by later stages.
