Having been on nearly every kind of insulin known to man (literally) at high doses and different combinations with blood sugars in the 400-600 level in spite of the amount I was taking i was surprised at what an impact the Apidra had on me. I had been used to taking 100u or more of Novalog or Humalog to see any reduction at all. With the Apidra, I rarely require more than 30u at a time, and rarely...

I've had diabetes over 20 years, and for the last five or so, uncontrolled! I went to an endo DR. he prescribed Apidra before meals, and then I take Lantus at bedtime! I was on glipizide and metformin many years, still take the metformin, but NOT the glipizide, and in no more than 8 weeks, my blood sugar numbers are real good, and I have went from 9.5 to 6.9 on my A1C!! I was just diagnosed with NAION (blindness) in my left eye after seeing a neuro-opthalmologist, somehow I believe had I had this agressive treatment a while back, it would not have happened! I feel better, and good luck to all diabetic patients!!Read More Read Less

I have been on this medication for three months. I can not figure out how much to take for meals. I either take to much or to little, after two low's I would rather take to little. Not sure how this will effect my A1C.

Since i have been on the Apidra, my HgA1c has dropped from 14.9 to 7.8 in just a few weeks, where before, i had been unable to see any kind of control.Read More Read Less

On for about 10 months. Caused severe ED/impotence,and I mean "zero" erections. within 3 days of stopping the ED/impotence also stopped, and able to resume my normal activities. This was not listed as a side effect, and I will turn into the FDA. The Doctor said the ED/impotence was just a problem that Diabetics will experience. Having some problems maybe, but when it will not work at all, better start ruling out the medications
