Hello everyone first post on here!
Little background story : dx'd back in 2018 with FBG 17.1 and a1c 14%. Went on insulin for like a month or so full of hypos so my doc told me to stop using insulin. Next year without insulin and about 150 carbs/day and strenous phisical activity, my a1c were between 5.1-5.5%. Then covid came and my doc told me to stop testing that much. Fast forward a year later I went to my blood tests only to find out my FBG was back again into 15s. This time my doctor gave me FIASP(before it was novorapid/novolog) and tresiba as long acting (before Abasaglar).
Sugars stabilised again, with I:C ratio of 1:15-20 and basal at around 14. Today decided to do some testing with my mom who isnt diabetic nor pre-diabetic(FBG in the 80s, a1c 5.2 ish) . We ate some traditional corn food(30g carbs) +pudding without sugar of around 10 carbs and cream soup(~15 carbs) and tested before meal and 1hr mark. I bolused accordingly. Pre meal we both were at like 4.4-4.5. Interesting tho, post meal 1hr mark my mom was at 7.5 and I was at 6.3. Here comes my question, is FIASP even faster than human body insulin?
Side note: No matter what I eat if i bolus accordingly I never spike above 8.5 even with refined carbs (CGM-wise) and if I spike its for about 5 min like a non D curve
