| Bethany, I struggled and struggled to get my post-meal levels below 180 (yup, I couldn't even get them that low! I didn't know how others here could do it!) and it never happened while I was on Humalog or Novolog... and if it did, it was because I had over-bolused at mealtime and ended up hypo 3-4 hours later. I eventually gave up and decided that this was the way my body was going to be. Oh well. Then my doctor suggested I try Apidra.
I've said it plenty of other places here, but I'll say it again. I absolutely love Apidra. I know others don't and I do think rapid insulins work very differently among us. It might be something to try? With Apidra, my post-meal levels at 2 hours are pretty well consistent at 115-140, sometimes a little bit higher, sometimes a little bit lower. If I was at this level on Hum or Nov, I'd be heading for a hypo. But not with Apidra. I come in at this level at the 2-hr mark, and at 4, 6, 8 hours later, I am still there. It's fantastic, and unheard of for me before on the other insulins.
Oh, and I don't snack... I don't do anything.... the levels just stay there on their own. Fabulous!
