I haven’t been able to get Fiasp for about 4 weeks , I have gone back onto Humalog but that is now in shortage .
I can’t find any information about UK shortages so wondering if it’s just a regional thing .
Have 4 pharmacies in our town and they are all unable to get it
Any information would be brilliant
 
I last got some Fiasp a couple of weeks ago and had no trouble. I think I picked it up the day after my request went in.
As I have a pump, I get vials of fast acting insulin.
 
I know I got my vials (as I'm also on a pump) of Fiasp today with no issue (ordered on Monday, today is Wednesday, it gets delivered so that's about the normal time)

I’m hoping the diabetic team in Plymouth will have some advice this morning
It’s a bit scary not having spare , have a few days left

I’m still waiting for a prescription from 23rd march , have contacted the diabetic team so hopefully I will get some advice today . Might just have to travel a bit further to get it
 
On Novorapid myself. But saw this on FB 12/4. Don't know if the telephone no is only for DSN's

If you're on FB I suggest following that page. I started following when Partha Kar did a video chat about closed loop pumps. But lots of info/podcasts/ news etc which are helpful.
