Description:
Insulin glulisine is a rapid-acting insulin analog that differs from human insulin in that the amino acid asparagine at position B3 is replaced by lysine and the lysine in position B29 is replaced by glutamic acid. It was developed by Sanofi-Aventis and is sold under the trade name Apidra. When injected subcutaneously, it appears in the blood earlier than human insulin. When used as a mealtime insulin, the dose is to be administered within 15 minutes before or 20 minutes after starting a meal. Intravenous injections may also be used for extreme hyperglycemia but must be performed under the supervision of a medical professional.

The only insulin I use. Very easy to keep your dosage safe because it's very fast-acting (just be carful because there is a secondary spike.

Very fast-acting and fairly predictable. Just be cautious of a second peak about 45-60 later.

I've been using it for years. Super fast-acting makes it predictable and safer (in my opinion)

This is my go-to insulin because the super fast half-life makes it very easy to predict. Reasonable price

Good stuff. This is the only insulin I use, because it's super fast acting and predictable. Remember, with insulin, less is more. No need to use more than 5iu at a time.

I like apridra because it's the fastest insulin out there. It's in and out of your system quickly, so it's predictable. less is more when It comes to insulin. I also love the pen, because it's so convenient and easy to use.

You feel the effects of this insulin within 20 minutes, so make sure you have carbs ready to eat immediately. I also like the fact that Apidra is out of your system within 2 hours or less, so this insulin is safer and easier to use than others. The pen is super convenient. I like to use 20 i.u. Post workout, but this may be too much for some people. I always consume 80-100 grams of carbs with it.
