The short answer... it depends.

The long answer... your situation is very much like mine while I was on Humalog and then Novolog. My 2-hr readings were always on the high side, no matter what I ate, but came down to normal levels within 3-4 hours; and if I corrected at 2 hours, I would be low at 3-4 hours. Now that I'm on Apidra, I don't get those prolonged spikes from meals, and I love it! Plus, I don't drop low at 3-4 hours. I eat, get up to 130-150 at the 2-hour mark, come back down to 100-120 at the 3-4 hour mark and hold steady there until my next meal.

I also have the same situation with breakfast ratios vs other meals - a 1:6 or 1:7 for breakfast and 1:10 or 1:12 for other meals. And actually, my post-breakfast readings are some of my lowest post-meal readings of the day (100-120).

So yes, it's possible that Apidra could help, but it depends. It might work well for you, it might not.
