We received information from the manufacturer that the planned delivery date of the new batch of Apidra Solostar is the end of November / beginning of December this year. A slightly better availability is the form of Apidra in the form of cartridges, but you need a pen (pen) for this form, which is supplemented with a cartridge. If you have a pen for this insulin (Sanofi company), this is the best way out in such a situation, because you do not have to change the preparation. You can ask about the pen at your diabetes clinic, the attending physician, at a nearby pharmacy or at the manufacturer by calling the patient hotline. If it is not possible to solve the problem in this way, it remains to change the preparation to a better available one, because to the best of my knowledge there are no other products containing insulin glulisine. Other insulins will have a slightly different profile of action and are not substitutes. A new prescription is also necessary. I leave a link to the video in which we show how to properly administer insulin with a pen and what such "reusable" pens look like:
