Advice on pumps with FIASP

[Kimberley2026]

Hi,

I have just started looking into pumps and wondered what pumps people were using with FIASP?
Any pros and cons I should consider?

I personally would prefer the OmniPod but this is unavailable in my area.

My DSN has informed me I’d have more options if I go back to Novorapid but have had improved blood sugars on FIASP so ideally I’d prefer to stay on it!

TIA

I use Fiasp in a Medtronic 640g.

Fiasp is not approved for the Tandem t:slim x2.
Some people use it but have to change sites more frequently as I understand it.

I was moved over to Fiasp from NovoSluggish before I was given the pump. Medtronic 640G

I used Fiasp with the Medtronic 640G and now use it with the 670G.

I use Fiasp with the omnipod.... Personally think Fiasp with the pod is the better choice of insulin due to the fact that it takes effect a bit quicker and the Omnipod is much slower than my previous pump to deliver insulin... Ie about 3 mins to deliver 10 units using the omnipod compared to about 10 seconds with my old Animas vibe. With that said loving the pod!

I'm not sure about your pump specifically, but I can change the delivery speed on my 640g - might be an option in yours? 3 mins to deliver 10u seems super slow.

WOW, that is a long time to deliver 10 units!
