Apidra in Canada?
When my clinical trial for the Technosphere Insulin is finished in July I would probably select Apidra to replace it, since from what I have heard it seems to be the closest match in it action for the injected insulins. However, I don't believe it is available yet in Canada. I was wondering if anyone has heard any reports on its status in this country in the near future?
Thanks Pat

No. I have my ears and eyes open though.

At my Diabetes Education Center the nurse indicated that Apidra will be available in Canada in 2009, likely in January. I'm interested in trying it.

Just out of interest sakes, I finally got to try Apidra after quite a wait and it didn't end up liking me as much as novorapid. Strange side effects and not as consistent action. Was a shame, I can do with all the speed I can get. Hope it works better for you when you get your hands on it!
