| Hi Subby,
Whilst I'm having response time issues with it at the moment, I don't think it's the Apidra at fault. For that reason, I'll tell you how it worked when I first went on it.
It typically started to kick in within 10 mins. 70% gone after 2 hours, all gone after 4. If you are eating a large carb meal which is pretty much all low GI, you might need an orange juice chaser to stop the Apidra getting ahead of the insulin. Also, I would imagine you'll be using the dual wave feature as the pizza etc of this world is not doable with Apirdra without a double shot IMO (even more so than Novo due to Novo having a bit more of a tail).
It really helped with my post-meal spikes and also meant less hypos at the 4 hour mark. In me, those last two hours of the response seem to be a little weird as it apprears to back off a little between hours 2-3 then have a last good fight just before 4. But that could just be that all the food has gone rather than the insulin ramping up.
No idea whether or not you can get it in Aus, but I'm sure some of the pumpers on here use it. There have also been a couple of posts on here from people who tried it and it worked slower than Novorapid, which just proves the point of us all being different...
