Developing quicker acting insulins

Interesting.
The only issue i see is possible realy rapid sugar drops from a correction dose feeling as bad as any potential hypos?

I personally don't have the issues with Novorapid others report..

I guess you'd need to correct in multiple smaller doses, if it would really work as fast as it did for that poor little fish in the video.
But as it is, it takes about 2 hours and a couple of minutes after my corrections before I can safely decide if the correction was enough, and that's on Fiasp.

1u of novo without fail would drop me by 3mmol. No matter how high I may climb so adjusting the dosage of a correction accordingly, was easy & efective bringing me down from a wayward 20 & back in range in 3 hours.

However, lately. (The last few months) things have changed..? My insulin to carb ratio or correction..?
I find I start dropping faster I corrected a mid teen 'er with 2u earlier today (should usually have been 3.) & I'm having a sub 3.5 in just under 1.5 hours.. I'm also having to relearn what I knock in for what I eat too?? It's pretty much a third off what has been my standard for years..

Most bizarre.. Now looking at how that snail messes up that fish with the action on that insulin..?
I get a feeling it would need a little refinement.. That to me is some potent stuff..

I don't think they'll just hand out the insulin the way it is in the snails! The poor little fish had the quickest hypo I've ever seen!

Still, I've just renamed my rooster Geographus (his previous name, given to him by his previous owner was Mike, which doesn't really fit him) and named my black hen with white spots Kinoshitai, after those terrifying snails!

My insulin needs have dropped by about 15% since I had my first covid jab.
Is there any such correlation for you?

Hmmmm, mehbe?
I know my new job coinciding with the last booster is less active.. To be truthful it's an old job I was invited back to. I was fine on the old insulin set up. This is new..
I'm seriously starting to think I may need a pump.? My pens can't cope. (Either way. 1u at a time or not..)

What I do know with my "range" is I'm stable is when I have a gig.. My team seem to think it's as easy as quitting the "day job" & going full time pro "muso.." :hilarious:

There maybe more reality in exploiting this "life of Brian?"
