I was using Novolog for a while, but went back to humalog. It took a little too long to peak for me, I was getting some pretty good post-meal spikes

Those post meal spikes are exactly what is happening to me. I weigh my food, use a smaller size plate to help with portion control, and even bolus ten minutes before the meal. Very frustrating.

My endocrinologist just recently recommended I start on Symlin. I find that it helps a great deal except when I guess at the carb content of something I am eating as when we eat in a restaurant.

I use apridra. My doctor told me that it works faster, But I think Im not up with watching if thats true or not. But I did go from a 9.1 A1C to a 6.5 dont know if that was help from the insulin or just because I have tighter control using the pod.

I use Humalog. I was told by my Omnipod trainer that some people need higher basal rates on the pod then they used on their pump. I have not found that to be true, but that could be why you are running higher.

I was first started on the Novalog, but didn't get as good a control as the doc thought I should and he switched me to Humalog. Then we went back to the Novalog to see if it did make a difference and it does for me. My doc told me is is supposed to be the same but works a little different for different people. So we stayed with the Humalog.

I am using Humalog....it didn't occur to me to wonder why, other than I was using Humalog for my MDI's.
