I can sympathise with this problem; at present I am on Apidra & it takes about 3 hours to kick n. I started on Apidra & complained about the kick-in time; I was then put on FIASP a very fast acting insulin; on the literature it said it had to be administered 0 - 1 minute before eating; of course...

I have had T1 for almost 7 years; I am 75 years old. Within the past few months I have eventually found I can control my Blood Sugar level but also I have started getting terrible pains in 1 foot & slightly less pain in the other. This happens especially at night & it is very uncomfortable &...

I have been on FIASP for several months now but I find it not very successful when I add extra insulin to my dosage if my blood sugar level is a bit high; does anyone else have a problem with dosage correction?
