Sarah K replied to Christian's Dad's discussion 'New Insulin - Apidra' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I used to use Novolog but it had a long "tail" for me. Switched over to Apidra (which is free until the end of the year, btw, so maybe see if your doc can write you an RX for 3x what he needs so you can stock up... that's what I did).…"
KimK replied to Christian's Dad's discussion 'New Insulin - Apidra' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"Apidra is temperature sensitive. If it gets hot, it will not work any more. On the third day using it, take off the pump and do a Cannula fill to flush out the tubing. I do 8 units. This helps the set up last the third day. (My tubing gets hot when…"

New Insulin - Apidra
We just started using Apidra instead of Novalog insulin on our 12-year-old with type-1. So far so good. It seems to cycle faster, and avoid the up and down spikes that used to occur. We don't know about the cost factor yet because we are using a sample. Our doctor did not try to push it, but he asked us to give him feedback.See More
