[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2429911, member: 527103"] I have been using Fiasp for a couple of years. Like you, I had to request it but my DSN is great because she knows I understand what I am doing. I find the shelf life of Fiasp once taken out of the fridge is less than two weeks (less than NovoRapid) which is frustrating because it means I have to waste some. But once it is too “old”, I may as well be injecting water. The other thing I find is that it works fast when my levels are lower. If my levels are in double figures, it can take over an hour for the Fiasp to work. If my levels are in the 4s, I have to inject after eating to avoid hypos. Now I know this, I resist the bolusing when high and use the combo/extended bolus option on my pump when my levels are low. Do you use a pump or inject? I find my insulin works faster with a pump and it gives me other areas for sites. [/QUOTE]
