    Shipping insulin to the UK? Insane script costs for visitors

    Hey guys. Just got a script here in England for 10x vials of Fiasp and they said it would cost 200 pounds. If possible I'm just going to see if I can have it shipped by my family from home (Australia). Does anyone know if it is possible to post insulin overseas to the UK? Unless anyone knows...

    Fiasp and Varying Sensitivity

    Since switching to the pump recently, I've found an issue with Fiasp which was present when I was injecting it - but was quite easy to deal with - is now causing me major issues. So when my blood sugar goes above 10 my sensitivity to Insulin drops significantly. The higher it gets the less...

    Strange Experience with Fiasp

    Hi there, I’ve been having some unusual experiences with Fiasp. In June, I found my Fiasp slowing down, due to sudden extreme spikes after meals which, if left uncorrected, would fall back down on their own. This happened consistently with foods with all sorts of GI. Realising the issue, I kept...

    Fiasp

    So since starting using Fiasp I've noticed increasingly that its action curve has been flattening. By that I mean, its peak is less and less effective and its tail is more and more effective. The more this happens the harder I'm finding it to match dosage times to my meals. My main technique has...

    What happened to my Fiasp?

    So I was just getting for the next shot, grabbed my Fiasp pen and when I screwed the needle on top, a quick glance over the reservoir caught my eye. :wideyed: For whatever reason, the liquid turned into a cloudy suspension. Here's a picture of it: And no, those aren't tiny air bubbles. There...

    Fiasp Duration

    Hi there, just wanted to gather opinions on Fiasp, as I have recently changed over. In a bid to maintain good control, I typically eat low GI foods (brown pasta, brown rice, brown bread etc.) I have been finding that the Fiasp struggles to match the duration of digestion for these foods...

I had previously managed this on Humalog by splitting my dose about 50:50 and taking the second dose an hour after eating. I tried to do the same last night...
