Hi Everyone. I used Hypurin Porcine in my pump for about 5 years and then Christmas time changed onto Fiasp. Although my control is better I have gained a stone in weight since. I have been going to weight watcher for 2 years and HAD lost 50 pounds so am finding it devastating. I gained the...

Hi All, I am relatively new to using Fiasp in a pump and wondered if you could advise me which foods you tend to do a combo bolus with to avoid hypos at the one hours mark. I know pizza but what else do you find benefits please? also I know it is personal but what ratio do you use- I find for...

Hi Guys, I am changing to Fiasp and have read a few things about settings. Can I ask from your experience- how much has your basal dropped with the Fiasp and also what duration have you got it set at- someone said 3.5 but that seems quite long. Should it not be 2? thanks I have had my pump on...

Hi All, I am looking for some information about Fiasp. My diabetic nurse has suggested I try it in my pump instead of hypurin porcine. I am prone to weight gain on most insulin and so eventually return to pork after no hypo warnings either. My control has gone haywire over the last few weeks-...

Hi, I did the swim 22 for diabetes uk this year. I was told by email that rewards from fundraising would be sent out from 1st July- it is now 2nd august. I have received a certificate but nothing else and wondered if anyone else had received their usb duck or towel. Prior to this they were good...

Hi, I have just got a freestyle libre and want to try and sort out my basal rates. I am raising from 6 am so am I right that I need to adjust the basal rate from 2 am? I am having to set up a completely new section on pump as I have a virus I cannot get rid of and am sick of doing temp basal...

Hi, I have had my Metformin changed to slow release. instead of having 2 twice a day they have changed it to 4 at night. Is this normal as I am a little anxious I pump Hypurin porcine neutral.

Hi I was looking for some advise. My diabetic nurse changed my basal rates as she said that the balance was wrong. She said I have too much basal and not enough bolus. I disagreed but she said I had to change. In my mind and how it was explained the basal keeps your sugars stable and runs in...
