Why will you be pumping with NovoRapid?
I switched to Fiasp whilst on a pump and I am not the only Fiasp pumper.
As for injecting NovoRapid with a syringe, for me this is only a short term back up, if I am out for a few hours, I can inject my bolus when I eat and basal every 30 or 60 minutes.
But, if my pump fails in such a way that it needs to be replaced, you cannot use a fast acting insulin via syringes to replace your basal throughout the night. Hence, the need for pens - you need slow acting insulin.
I’m not sure why she changed me, I’m so new to pump o didn’t realise you could have fiasp. I dunno if every CCG are different in how they do things.. I totally agree and will be keeping some as I’m going away for the weekend whilst early in my pump and I’m scared it’s not going to work!! It’s so nerve wrecking doing something totally different than I have been for ten years !! I appreciate all the advice and help I can get!
