[QUOTE="Zinadane, post: 2636454, member: 397875"] I've been on fiasp (tresiba basal) now for about 4-5 years I think. Always been pretty happy with it's performance. But the last week or so I'm experiencing horrendous problems trying to corrective dose from a high. So, maybe I ate +30grams more than intended, thinking no problem I will just correction dose. But now, what I am finding is that the corrective dose may only stabilse the high at best. Once my bg gets into say the 14s, the fiasp seems so unreactive! I end up taking 3 or 4 correction doses as I am just not used to having to take so much insulin in one hit. 10units is normally plenty to deal with anything over 14 but sometimes now it just doesn't touch it, so another 8, another 8 etc etc. 3-4 hours later it's down and I think blimey that took 30units in total to correct for 30g carbs 16units total is usually plenty for say a 60g meal Once levels are back down into single figures the insulin sensitivty seems to return. I've changed the batch of fiasp and insulin sites are decent I think (although all in the abdomen) Very tiring and frustrating atm Do I need an insulin change (what else is there?) Or just more vigilance to prevent bg drifting into the teens in the first place? [/QUOTE]
