[QUOTE="smidge, post: 186704, member: 29301"] Hi Zoeee! I use Apidra which seems to work very quickly and then leave my system very quickly - sometimes a little too quickly as the two-hour reading can be brilliant (or a little low on occasions), but a three-hour reading can show my BG rising a bit as the slow-release carbs can hit me after the Apidra action has finished :roll: (This seems to happen particularly when I eat egg noodles). Another member has advised me to split the dose, which I will try. The good thing with Apidra is that I can take it immediately after my meal and it's still effective - so I know how much I've eaten when I take it, instead of guessing how much I might eat! As for Humalog and Novarapid, it's interesting that many people on this site state that Novarapid has a slower on-set and more of a 'tail'. However, the Registrar I saw recently insisted that Novarapid, Humalog and Apidra all have the same profile and that many tests have been carried out which prove it. He was questoning why I'd been prescribed Apidra rather than Novorapid - I think it must be more expensive judging by his expression :lol: I think you just have to try them and find one that works for you - maybe you could ask for one 3ml cartridge of each and try them for a couple of weeks each? At the moment, I'm very happy with Apidra. Smidge [/QUOTE]
