| Just to echo what Gary said:
I switched to Apidra from Novorapid (for use in MDI with Lantus). I found that the Apidra cuts in much quicker than Novorapid (which as far as I was concerned should be called NovoSlow!). This really helps with post-meal spikes in particular where the meals are relatively smalland get into the system quickly e.g. a sandwich at lunch. Dinner is my main and biggest meal and can therefore digest a bit slower. I routinely split my Apidra with about 2/3 upfront and the rest after about 45 mins. This stops the early dip and then rise. For mega-meals e.g. full-on Chinese, I sometimes do a 3rd shot of a couple of units at the end of the meal.
A second major advantage of Apidra is that it seems to be all gone by about 3.5 h. I used to get hit by the Novorapid tail all the time - although I still have problems with hypos due to the Lantus, I rarely if ever have an Apidra hypo and if so it's usually an overt miscalculation.
