[QUOTE="ert, post: 2429901, member: 504712"] I use Fiasp. Fiasp mostly takes longer to work than the 5 minutes on the packaging (sometimes up to an hour) depending on injection sites, age of vial, age of insulin, hormones, insulin resistance time of day, if the insulin is over two weeks old, lipodystrophy, exercise etc, etc. It's the usual variability that is part of my day. The secret is to follow the numbers and remember that injected insulin isn't like a normal person's insulin. Walking after eating helps manually kick the insulin into action so you don't need to take so much. They are currently developing a Smart insulin so hopefully, there will be better insulins in the future: [URL]https://jdrf.org.uk/our-research/about-our-research/treat/smart-insulin/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
