Hello, thanks for the query.
Actarapid is a human insulin with rapid action. Apidra is also a rapid acting insulin but the compound is different. Actions are similar as both have rapid action and that stays for 4 to 6 hours. Both are used to control after food glucose rise. Dosage can be similar. Thanks.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
Insulin dose decided on the basis of blood glucose level both fasting and after food. Plus there are different types of insulins, it is not which one you are using. There are rapid acting and long acting insulins plus combination of both.
It is given in units per dose, not as ml. Taking excess insulin is not advised. It causes hypoglycemia. Thanks.

is it cartridges that you mean.

The insulin used in cartridges which are used in pen devices are more stable and once it is open has good functionality till a month.

If buying in bulk can be stored in the door of refrigerator.

Hi you r a diabetic. Your injection site is not healthy. You need to follow a proper rotation technique for injection. Not at the same site always. The area you are referring need to be left for few days without injection. It will improve on its own. Take care.
