The insulinas you use are fast or ultra -sword action?
Because the one I use, Apidra (and previously novorapid) are ultra -grape, and begin the effect at approximately 15 minutes
Quiet that happens to everyone with all "ultra -grape", whether Humalog, novorapid or apride.
The name of "ultra -grape" is almost an insult to our intelligence, since its action begins late and its peak is at the time more or less, and its effect is extended too much in time.
Thanks, artories :-)
He said "ultra-grape" because as I have read several times that there are those who put it for more than half an hour before eating, I clearly looked for the differences between them, and I found that "nuance" ;-) to me the apidra begins to metake effect more or less at 15-20 minutes and yes, the peak at the time.I have been trying to put it on some meals a couple of days after eating, and not before, and it seems that I do better.I am pointing everything because I am not clear about the effects according to various combinations ... if the effect lasts ... I still have it halfway;There are times yes, that it lengthens a lot, and sometimes that it seems that it ends almost after the peak.
As for showing off curves ... I am not interested, really.The only thing that interests me is to find myself well, and I am better when the peaks are less accentuated.

I depend on how I am at the time of eating and what I have to eat signed half an hour before, at the time of eating or half an hour or an hour later.
Jaume, I guess if you do so it is because you can and you do well.For me, for now, it is unthinkable to click more than ten minutes before;With a blood glucose of between 90 and 120, and with my sensitivity a few days to insulin, if I click before I suppose I could give me a hypo.So late after eating, I haven't tried it either ... I'm in full discovery of trends, really.Little by little.Only in some moments I have desperate somewhat.Better today ;-)

@imara ... is the problem of being a woman.It depends on your cycle.It only serves to try and err and so continuously.
As you carry free one more unit and watch at the time like these.If you go down and tendency to go down as something light.It is what I do before ovular or menstruate.The rest I have to get very low doses.Now I carry 2 Breakfast and only 1 dose for eating or dinner.
Well, being a woman sometimes seems like a problem, but it is really a great wealth to be able to live so many variations and learn from them, because it helps to understand many things.Of course, at times and according to the days it is heavy to attend hormones.But if you don't attend them, if you don't listen to your body, you go to the club :-)
Now I continue with low doses, but variables.At breakfast is where I have been seeing that I need more than in the other meals.And in ovulation insulin makes me a huge effect, vice versa that in pre-manstruation and menstruation, which I am much more sensitive in general, but with more insulin resistance.That is what I observe.Until you investigate three or four cycles, I will not be able to establish more patterns, because there are also factors that vary from cycle to cycle ...
And yes, Free is helping me a lot now, despite its limitations, for the topic of the trends.
Hugs :-)
