[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1669533, member: 453103"] I loved Fiasp at first, but hated it as time went on and returned to NovoRapid. I found that while it worked faster up front, I would get more spikes later on as its period of effective action is shorter and thus leaves you more susceptible to delayed spikes from fat or protein. I also found it didn't work as well as a pump basal for this reason - I would get huge spikes after exercise or waking up that were difficult to bring down and that I didn't see on NovoRapid. It is also notorious for causing pump site issues. Spikes of 14-18 are very large, are you sure your carb ratio and/or basal dose is correct? It may be an issue of taking more insulin for meals and lowering your basal, or increasing your basal and keeping the same bolus dose. Or it could be the food you are eating. Even if I bolus right before eating with NovoRapid I wouldn't expect to see such large rises unless something is off, but of course everyone is different! [/QUOTE]
