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!

Actually I've been hearing more and more about Apidra and am potentially interested in trying it. I don't think it's available in Canada though. Hopefully soon.
