Apidra for MODY?

I'd been doing fine on Novolog but this past week it stopped working properly and my new pens didn't either. It's possible that since my "new" pens have been sitting in the fridge for seven months they've all deteriorated. Hard to say.

But when I saw the Endo yesterday I found out she had some samples of Apidra and got her to give me some.

I tried it today and loved the way it worked. I injected right before eating a breakfast of 1 slice whole wheat bread (the intense thick kind) and peanut butter. I started out at 106, went up to 123 at 1 hour, came back to 106 at 2 hours and was at 91 at 3. That works for me.

Anyone else here try it?

I've got a new novolog pen (also a sample) to test out too, to see if the problem is that mine have been sitting in the fridge too long. Since I only use a few units a day, I can keep a pen going 6 weeks to 2 months, so those packs of five last a LONG time.

I'm also going to be testing Prandin to see how it works for me.
