I had been taking Humalog for about 7 years or so before switching to Apidra. My endo asked some of her patients to try it for a period and give her feedback. She felt I’d be a good candidate because it was supposed to peak faster and I had a habit of bolusing haphazardly and after meals. She thought it might get into my system more quickly. I liked it and, at the time, was more than willing to have a few months of free insulin from my doc. 
Anyway, after that, I’ve stuck with it and feel like I have a good grip on how it works. It brings my blood sugar down to normal in about 2 hours from a high, kicks in to start working on my meal about 45 minutes or so after I bolus (so I take it 10-20 minutes ahead of a meal). Overall, I feel it’s faster than Humalog. And I’ve had no issues with clogged tubing, either.
I highly recommend this ongoing discussion called “How many pumpers or non-pumpers are using Apidra?”
