Apidra Optiset disposable pens

Do any of you use Apidra Optiset disposable pens?

I have been using these pens for a while. I quite like them. Got a nice action and are very reliable. The only thing which bugs me is the fact that you can only take units in 2's.

I heard a few months ago that there was a new pen which gives units in 1's. Has anyone heard of these disposable pens or using them at the moment?

Thanks

Rich

I thought about switching to Apidra - how do you like it comparison to novolog/humalog? I like the fact that you can take in 20 minutes afer the start of a meal.

Hi. I use Apidra. Not in pens; in a vile. But it's Apidra nonetheless. It seems to be working much better than Novolog; it works faster and more effectively.

For me, the Novolog worked better than the Apidra.

I find it far more usable and predictable than, novolog, humalog, actrapid and all the other fast acting insulins I have used over the years. Humalog was quite possibly the worse for me.
Apidra is better for me. but there is still room for improvement.
