I checked the Fiasp leaflet as suggested and it does state that 5% of users get stomach upsets and back aches, which stopped when I went back to Novorapid. It seems that I am one of the 5% unlucky ones. Thanks for the suggestion to check the leaflet. Much appreciated.

Horror.................my first 'pricking' was with a scalpel blade stabbed into my thumb in 1970 on the childrens ward. My mum couldn't believe how barbaric it was. Fortunately the pricking device came later.
