[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2155928, member: 468714"] From googling Isuman Rapid, (e.g. Isuman Rapid insulin profile) it appears to have an action similar to Regular insulin. If you google 'Apidra insulin profile' the graph shows a more rapid action profile and is often quoted as similar to other faster acting insulins like Novorapid and Humalog. One use of Isuman Rapid insulin is in a regime promoted by Dr Bernstein in his book 'Diabetes Solution' (and exemplified on sites like True Grit Type One - which also reports the advantages of lower HBAiC and loew BSL variability and very low rate of hypos) where he shows that it is possible to achieve normal or near normal BSLs and HBA!C. Part of this regime, as he writes, involves a very low carb diet. In contrast to what [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] says about Apidra and DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating), the Bernstein approach, which I use, adapts the diet to the action of the insulin. The question is, can you eat want what you like and dose for it (DAFNE) with Apidra and maintain HBA!C of less than 6% and BSL variability of 4 to 6.4 mmol/l and minimal hypos? I wish you luck with Apidra and sorry if you were not given the opportunity to use Isuman Rapid to its full potential but felt that in switching insulins it might be helpful to contrast the effect and potential of each insulin. The above is not medical advice or opinion, just based on my own experience of 53 years on insulin and my diabetes education. [/QUOTE]
