It make no sense having to pinch yourself 4 times a day + 2 more with the meter to no avail.

UGH!! I'm going back on humalog today to see if this helps, but all these things started happening with the apidra. I was in fairly good control before, and thought the apidra would help a little more, but I have spiraled out of control. SOOO happy to have humalog back in my pump today!

I am now on a pump and have been told by my doctor that it is one of the best for pumps, as it does not clog the pumps as easy as some of the other ones. Pros My blood sugars are finally in the normal range most of the day. Finally got them under 400. Have been averaging about 130 which is great for me. Cons Works fast when I take the Bolus so I need to make sure I am going to eat right then to prevent lows.

Pros Insulin corrections kick in VERY FAST, which is a huge benefit. Cons My postprandials (normal post-meal blood sugar levels) are not really much different than with any other insulin. In other words, doses for meals seem to absorb at a "normal" rate, vs. corrections when I'm not eating, which are faster.
