High bloods sorted think it is fiasp

[Vamppir8]

Two weeks ago went from 1 to 10, to 2 to 10 overnight, plus numerous corrections. Drs voice message ring 111, sent a&e, a&e sorry cannot help go to drs.... per chance diabetic review, threw my cards on table, nurse and consultant couldn't get me out fast enough told me to ring diabetic nurse at drs. She rang today, don't know anything about type 1, never heard of fiasp... Well today I injected 28 units instead of usual 8 for 80 gas, yesterday 13 for 40gms. Desperate I googled. Its very common, 3-12 months it becomes like injecting water, must have read 100 posts on it today. How can a consultant (in his late 70s) and nurse not know this? Switching back to novorapid tomorrow, was 5 hrs at it today, unit every 15 minutes, down 0.3 then ten minutes back up. See picture every drop and spike is 1 or 2 units. The big drop at end, desperate I jabbed levemire (I know) instant drop so had to munch. Jabbed 16 long, 16 fiasp at 8.30 took till 10 to drop. Plus 12 correction for 80gms carbs.

I'm puzzled.
Your graph looks pretty good for a T1, what did you want A&E to do about being almost 100% in range?

Are those your insulin to carbs ratios?

How long have you been diagnosed?
Insulin needs do fluctuate.
If you suddenly need more insulin than usual, the first things I'd look at are having a possible infection or illness (cold, covid, UTI, flu etc.) all of them could raise your numbers.

Have you tried using a new pen? The one in use may be off for some reason.

If your need for insulin is higher than usual, either because of your diabetes just needs more insulin or because of a temporary cause like illness, it only makes sense that your need for basal insulin needs to be upped as well.

I didn't ask to go to a&e, drs have recorded message we are too busy to take calls ring 111. Sorted now, back to novorapid, consultant must be on commission. 7 years, my bloods between 4 and 8 90% of time before. I don't usually inject 28 units in a day let alone 2 pieces of toast. Like I say hundreds of testimonials same thing, like injecting water.

Before you go saying the consultant must be on commission do note that Fiasp works perfectly fine for many, I know for myself Fiasp works far far far better than Novorapid ever did - I've now been on Fiasp for about 5 years give or take
Yes, I'm sure many have had issues with Fiasp but many have also had issues with Novorapid - different people react differently to different insulins

Novorapid is obviously better for you though by the sounds of things and I'm glad you're back on it, though how long did you try Fiasp for just out of curiosity?
