Hi all,
Is there anyone else on Apidra insulin?
I started trying it a couple of months ago and am finding it fantastic! Many of my hypos are now gone thanks to the fact it is out of my system so much quicker than the novarapid.
The problem is, the pen they've given me only sets doses to the nearest 2 units! Obviously this is a problem for me as I count carbs. I've checked with my gp and the pharmacy and they don't know of a pen that will be better. Problem is this is the only disposable pen available.
I will be doing back the hosp in a couple of weeks, so I know I can ask them about a non-disposable pen. I was wondering if anyone uses this insulin and has at least a 1unit pen!
