A member asked:
I'm trying to find out which insulin may be better for me. apidra (insulin glulisine) or novalog. my insurance doesn't consider apidra (insulin glulisine) to be a preferred brand anymore..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fast acting insulin: They are both fast acting insulin, with about the same onset of action and duration. Novalog is fine, and it is not worth paying extra for apidra (insulin glulisine).
