I think you nailed it with this being a secondary infection or period of inflammation. Something changed last night, yesterday 40 units kept me even overnight and then out of nowhere last night for the first time in 3 weeks my dose appears to have reduced significantly and 40 units crashed down...

Because I don't need much if any basal during the day. Humalin I is an 18h insulin with little to no activity after 12h however the peak at 2-6h is perfect to offset my overnight rise and go some way to counteract dawn phenomenon.

I've switched to a different buttock (mine obviously) and take a daily probiotic anyway. It might just be bad timing with the Fluconazole but it did wreck me, hard to describe but I felt sick and ill with it for a couple of days. As a test last night I did a double exercise bike session for...

Thanks for your reply, first thing I did was change both my pen and vial (top a different batch). I thought I must have left it in the sun or something similar. Sadly not the solution I hoped for.

I'm in Leeds, I wonder what the case was. Interesting.

Hi all, really looking for some advise or comparable experiences. I've been a T1 for 6 1/2 years now and have seen my basal creep up from 8 to 18 units of Humulin I over that time period and hardly shift from 18 units for the last 3 years. In the last 2 weeks my bolus requirements have shot...

It was working great for me for quite a few months then around December of last year I noticed that absorption onset drifted from 15 minutes to now around the 1.5h mark. Not just that but some doses simply don't seem to absorb if you're just sitting down, then tank your blood sugars when you...

I read the same article through a link on Reddit. It would be really hard to single out if that is the root cause. I have been exercising more and that seems to have made a bit of difference but as to whether it's fixed the natural absorption onset or whether I'm just seeing the effect of...

Having used Fiasp for around 5 months For the last month or so I've experienced the same thing. A sudden drop in the effectiveness of Fiasp. It also seems like food is spiking me much more than it normally would and that in addition to onset taking up to an hour and a half now (from within 15...

I've been using FIASP for a couple of weeks now, my chemist phoned the distributor and organised the issue of it as it hadn't hit the distribution database at that point. I rang my GP who issued the prescription (He's also a T1, very useful). It;s been great on the whole. Doses are exactly the...

I've just this morning picked up my prescription and it arrives in the chemist for collection in about a week. It'll take a little longer as it's a new product but otherwise, very excited to finally be able to use this new insulin I've been reading so much about. I'll post some first...

@tim2000s Just out of interest you mention that you organised with your pharmacy to search under the term (insulin aspart). With that in mind, there would be two products potentially listed under that term NovoRapid (insulin aspart) and all it's individual options and PIP codes. Fiasp (insulin...

Ah now that's interesting and different from what I got told by my GP. He said from his findings it was still awaiting NICE approval for distribution. Thanks, I'm going to contact my GP again.

Also, do we know anyone on the boards who is NHS employed, they could se what the Fiasp status is on the BNF database. There's even a nifty app if you can create a login account. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.nice.bnf&hl=en

Great to see someone else using Xdrip+, fantastic branch from Xdrip. I have mine set up through a Freestyle Libre (LibreAlarm). Android Wear connection for the bridge (Sony smartwatch 3) could be a lot more rock solid although I've managed to implement some safetynet scenarios to re-establish...

I feel like we're forcing you to feed. But could you do the same with Humalog?. 18 minute pre-bolus, another donut? It would be interesting to see the effect especially since you're hooked up to to the Nightscout trend graph.

What is this voodoo, my chemist couldn't even find it on their system even with the PIP. My GP a fellow T1 said it wasn't approved for prescribing yet. Exciting. What shenanigans did you do?, worth someone else following through?

I spoke to my GP on Friday 17th March and they didn’t have it as available. The prescription PIP codes are available on the Novo Nordisk site. http://www.novonordisk.co.uk/patients/diabetes/our-products.html I’m going to give it until the end of the month and try again.

I took a look at the sensor and mounting attachment yesterday, I wondered if we could peel off the sticky part (you can) from the sensor and add an alternative adhesive. That would seem like a much better solution than having to use a myriad of barriers and whatnot. Liquid skin would probably...

It was odd and I'm not 100%. I didn't react where the sensor was or where the compeed was directly against my skin. Where the sensor was cl I haven't yet, but it's an expensive test for me. I think I'll give it one more punt with another barrier (undecided yet what) underneath the sensor, then...
