[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1481730, member: 30007"] It's an interesting one. Fiasp is generally released and the public have access to it with a helpful set of HCPs, however, there is also an ongoing clinical trial that is looking at its use across the UK. Note that the trial is taking place with people that are not considered to be "Well Controlled" by Hba1C amounts (to participate you had to have an Hba1C between 7.5% and 10%) so one of the key indicators coming out of it will be any form of Hba1C reduction (which is what the manufacturer clinical trials claimed). Many HCPs will not prescribe it until they see the outcome of this trial because they don't want to get in to trouble for prescribing something they don't have details of. My frustration with this approach is that when you are engaged, it means you are blocked from trying something that may be better, and probably isn't worse, due to their concerns. One thing that Fiasp has made very clear is that the internet is not UK HCPs friend as it has allowed far more people to access information on treatments like this than in the past, and they want to try them, which very much goes against the grain of many HCPs, despite the "Take control of your condition" rhetoric. Personally, it took me a good month to get used to it. I now think I am, and the best bit of using it is being able to bolus when you see food. It makes life much easier. In addition it works extremely well in an Artificial Pancreas, which is what you'd expect. I've also had to change the regularity of pump set changes, and now get two rather than three days, which is slightly more annoying. [/QUOTE]
