"You should take as many units as you need. What that figure is, is different from person to person. For example, I weigh 90kg and use between 60-100 units of novorapid a day, depending on what I eat and how much I exercise."

David (dns) replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"I am on MDI and use Apidra for boluses and corrections. I am very happy with it. It has the fastest response and the shortest tail of any insulin I have used, which makes it ideal for processing high-carbohydrate foods."
Zoe replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"No, the opposite, Terry; it's for people with insurance as it waives the co-pay."
candyapple779799 replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"Hi, I just wanted to reply and say I used Apidra for years in my pump and it worked wonderful for me. It stayed in my system better and I have a lot less lows using it. I had to use it also when my pump messed up and it did very well for me. Hope…"
Terry replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"Zoe - No, I wasn't aware of this. I've seen some remarks about it but I thought it was for people without insurance. I'll check it out. Thanks."
"Since I started Apidra I have hardly any lows because it is in and out of your system so quickly. I love it and no longer struggle with daily low bg's"
Zoe replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"Terry, did you know that Apidra has an offer of "no co-pay" for the duration of 2013? You don't need to pay anything at all! go to their website.
Rajesh - yes Apidra is one of the three fast acting insulins, all of which are good. As…"
Terry replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"I use Apidra as my only insulin, in my pump. I switched to it because I had an allergic reaction to Novolog. I've used Apidra for a few years and Novolog and Humalog before that. Apidra is reported to work faster than other rapid acting…"
Trudy replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'feedback on apidra'"Hi Rajesh. I use Apidra for my fast-acting insulin and Levemir for my basal insulin. Apidra works well for many people because it starts working quickly, helping to prevent a spike after a meal, but leaves your system in something like 3 1/2 hours.…"

Previously, I was on Lantus and I took a single dose in the evening. I did a bit of basal testing when I first went on Lantus to determine the dose that worked best for me. I never did achieve the kind of results that I…"
Brian (bsc) replied to Rajesh Khanna's discussion 'Time gap required after taking insulin for exercise .'"First, I recommend that you talk with your doctor or nurse about using a fasting acting insulin before meals.
