For Diabetes, Type 1 "I was on Apidra for the first 10 years of having Type 1, but had to change to Novolog due to insurance. I miss it sometimes when I have a bad high since it works so fast. I loved that I could take it right before eating and it would hit right when my body started digesting my food. Fastest insulin I've tried. Novolog is nice, but once you try Apidra, everything else feels slow. I loved it and I miss it to this day!"

Insulin glulisine for Type 2 Diabetes "I have just started this med for less than 3 months. I have been experiencing an unknown side effect. Breasts are tender and sore, similar to a young girl during her menstrual cycle or a woman when her breasts are swollen and sore from producing breast milk. I have notified my Endo, Dr. of this reaction. I am 54 years old and already in menopause. I am very scared of long-term use causing breast cancer."
