[QUOTE="Steve14, post: 2156995, member: 305713"] Sorry I took my time to respond back, but I wanted to test this new insulin before saying anything good or bad about it. It hasn't been 3 days, but my levels haven't been this stable before. With Insuman Rapid I used to wake up with e.g. glucose of 7, then inject, then my levels would climb up to 12-13+, and then by the 4 hour mark I'd go hypo:dead:. I could try and prevent the hypo (sometimes overshoot), but couldn't deal with the initial hyper. Now with Apidra I stay stable (+/- 1-2 glucose before injection). I found that for certain snacks I don't need the extra shot, but for others I should. It will take some time to get the levels right, but so far no more roller-coaster rides and that's a miracle in itself! It hasn't made such a drastic health improvement as I'd have expected it to, but steering clear of hypos and remaining under 10 is good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
