I take 30 units of Humulin R U-500 three times per day.

Doctor switched me to U-100 Novolin.

I am going tomorrow to the clinic to get my A1C test at the lab. Hopefully, my doctor will reinstate my u-500.

Over/Under A1C level is 10.0

Place your bets.

So 450 units daily of u-100 strength (normal strength) of insulin/day?

Maybe 100 units of u-100 levemir/lantus (long acting insulin) twice a day (20 units if u-500 long acting insulin) (morning and bedtime) with 80 units u-100 (16 units of u-500) three times a day with meals)?

Not medical advice, just off the top of the head conversion).

Do you still have a functioning pancreas?
