Typical dosage for Apidra

Your diabetes care team will determine your dose of Apidra (insulin glulisine) based on several factors. This includes your blood sugar levels and your target goal. Your dose might need to be adjusted depending on your lifestyle changes, like meal and exercise patterns, and the other medications you're taking.

  • For injections under the skin: Inject Apidra (insulin glulisine) within 15 minutes before a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal. Inject under the skin into the stomach, thigh, or upper arm.
  • For injections using a continuous insulin pump: Use the insulin pump according to your prescriber's instructions. Follow the directions from your insulin pump manufacturer to set up and use the pump.
  • For injections through the vein (when you're in the hospital): A healthcare professional can give Apidra (insulin glulisine) as an injection through a vein (IV).
