[QUOTE="Steve14, post: 2155631, member: 305713"] Hi all, I've been using Insuman Rapid ever since my T1 diagnosis (2015) and my diabetic doc has prescribed a new form of insulin called Apidra. She said that now I can inject even after eating and it should ease my life, and from now on I should eat 3 meals a day. However, I'm used to eating 5 meals a day (technically 3 with 2 snacks in-between and an extra 1 prior bedtime). So what do I do? According to this, to make up for the two snacks, I'm supposed to increase the calories of two meals (either breakfast and lunch, lunch and dinner etc.).....however, I have an awful morning appetite and already eat two sandwiches for breakfast. Two and a half hours past breakfast I'll usually have a banana. With the new insulin I'm supposed to eat all at once. If I tried to do that, then I'd throw up because it's too much for my stomach and I don't have the appetite in the morning. But if I don't have a snack between breakfast and lunch, then I'll lose my energy and feel sickly. When I told her about the difficulties of eating more at one sitting, then she told me to ask online so now I'm here. Please help me because this is my first day on Apidra and I'm anxious. [/QUOTE]
