[QUOTE="Sportie2, post: 2199036, member: 518114"] Hi Sandra, I am a T1 of 49 years and use Tresiba/ Fiasp (not in a pre filled pen though). I experience very similar things to you. Suddenly my BS will shoot up 17+ for no reason. Then I end up giving correction doses to get the BS down. This can mean injecting considerable large doses of Fiasp. for example I might eat 50gms and inject 10 units of Fiasp which works well with BS under 10 after the meal.. Then another time the same meal and ratio will see BS of 17 and rising. It can take over 25 units of Fiasp to bring it back down into the ideal range. This means 35 units for just 50g on a 2-1 ratio, As you say its as if its water...... I have been using two pens for my Fiasp injections (one at home and one for away from home) This does mean that the insulin is exposed to room temperatures for longer as i switch between the two pens. So I suspect that this may have a bearing on my syptoms. So I have started to just use one pen so the Fiasp is used up quicker before possibly going off. It too soon yet to tell id this fixes my problem, However it could be that having T1 for such a long time the absorption rate in injection sites is very poor, or I have selective insulin resistance. However you are not alone with Fiasp playing up. [/QUOTE]
