INSULIN GLULISINE - INJECTION

USER REVIEWS

Comment from: Gagandeep 19-24 Transgender 6 months to less than 1 year Caregiver Published: May 03

Apidra is the most effective fast acting insulin. I got diabetes due to chronic pancreatitis which destroyed insulin making cells. I was on novolog and humalog in the past and they were not as fast as apidra in bringing down blood sugars. Since I started taking apidra, my A1C level has improved from 8.0 to 6.6 .

I have been using Humalog in my insulin pump for the past 16 years, until my insurance wouldn't cover it. They switched me to Apidra, and it's awful. I've been getting symptoms of lows (headache, rapid heartbeat) with highs. I have to use MUCH more of it than Humalog, and its response is unpredictable. Hate it.

I took Apidra for 1 month. My glucose readings were very high. I've used novolog for years. It does not start working within 45-60 min. Starts lowering around the 2 hour mark and goes for 4 hours. Great when you are eating pizza! Bad if you expect it to work like Novalog or Humlog

Apidra subcutaneous is NOT garbage as I stated in an earlier post. Maybe my body has become used to it, However it does take alot to work, That I knew from the start, more than my doctor suggested, Good luck with it I hope it works for you

Apidra solorstar is garbage, It takes about 3 hours, and a whole lot (if your lucky) to kick in after waiting 15 min. to eat or 20 min. after starting a meal, I wish I was given Humalog instead.It seemed to work at first I purchased alot, Now even after refrig, it takes forever.

My 3 year old son was taking Novolog for the longest time had no issues with them till his insurance wouldn't cover it anymore, He had to try Apidra before we could learn about Humalog pen so his insurance would approve it. Apidra did not work at all in fact his sugar went up!

I had taken Humalog regular for almost 5 years and unfortunately my insurance no longer will cover it and I was told all I can use is Apidra. Since I started Apidra I have been hospitalized 4 times for dka. Not because of high sugars but I was constantly taking the Apidra to lower my sugars but it took so very much just to lower my sugars just a little bit. I would never recommend this insulin to anyone. It didn't work for me at all.

I am a type 2 diabetic "pumper" and am insulin resistant. I have been on a pump for five years and thought all my troubles controlling my diabetes where in the past. But I became very resistant to the Novolog insulin I was using. My endocronologist tried me on this insulin - I had never heard of it. Within one week I was seeing a big difference in my BG numbers without changing the amount of insulin my pump was programed for and am actually seeing some low BG numbers. I had given up thinking I was doing something wrong with my control, but it wasn't me! What a boost for my self esteem! Thank you Apidra!

Although I had a period of adjustment during the first 3 weeks of using Apidra, I love it. I am on less insulin than previously. My duration of action is 3 hours and it was 4 hours BUT the uptake of insulin is greater in the first hour when you need it for rice and odd things like that. I love it. Thanks
