[QUOTE="Hertfordshiremum, post: 2429907, member: 507802"] Hi Amym06 You are not alone, I have been type 1 for only 3 years (19 is an achievement) and switched to Fiasp about 18 months ago for the same reason Novorapid was just taking hours to kick in. Fiasp takes 30-40 mins to kick in for me. It has been great. However recently it’s been taking over an hour and then after 4 hrs of taking it, I presume it’s wearing off, I go sky high. Including overnight, if I increase my basal I am having hypos. I am covered in bruises and starting to get red lumps where I have been injecting and the more correction doses I have to inject the worse this becomes. I am seeing my nurse in person early September She is suggesting changing to silicone coated needles to alleviate bruising. Any other ideas you have please post, this is causing me problems too. I couldn’t get my BG below 15 for most of yesterday despite taking double my usual dose of Fiasp. I had to ask my sister to drive my son, as my vision was so bad I didn’t feel it was safe to drive. Very fed up too, I only eat 50g carbs throughout the whole day so it’s not the food. I also walk 5 miles a day. [/QUOTE]
