[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1422000, member: 30007"] Lol. Well it appears to be working quite well. The Krispy Kreme is definitely not winning....! To get hold of it, I tried speaking to my DSN, Consultant, GP, etc. No-one could prescribe FIAsp as they had to wait for it to arrive on the formulary. My consultant said that if I could get it, then she would be very interested in the results. However, harking back to blog post I made, the UK listing of these things isn't by brand name but by insulin name, and this may be branded FIAsp but it is still insulin aspart. I went to see my friendly pharmacist with whom I'd already been discussing this and we worked our way through the PIP codes to find the one that was in her system. She agreed to put a note on my account saying that when they received a prescription to order insulin aspart, they would order the FIAsp PIP code. I then spoke to my GP and got them to change from penfills to phials,explaining why I was doing so. They were happy to support it as long as my consultant was, and were happy for me to confirm that. The prescription for Insulin Aspart vials was issued last night. It went to my pharmacy this morning. They ordered it and it was in by 3pm. Job Done. No-one had to do anything they couldn't, but it took a bit of me linking things together and taking advantage of the way the system worked. [/QUOTE]
