[QUOTE="LWA, post: 2413135, member: 14506"] Personal Findings after trialling FIaSP for several weeks. Need as much as 60% more FIaSP for same amount food intake:- FIaSP daily Split 5/7/8 units - (The longer I was on FIaSP the more I needed) Personal NovoRapid daily split 3/5/6ish units FIaSP Very slow to recover from 10+ corrections - plus need more! Seemed odd how an insulin that works quicker takes so long to correct ♂️ With FIaSP sometimes experienced Delayed post meal highs after approx 3hrs - appears to tail off quicker than Novorpid. FIaSP Very good in morning to counter Liver dumps [emoji106] Previous Novorapid Libre average recording 80% (High and low split generally 10% each) Achieved similar with FIaSP (Below) but found harder to maintain. [ATTACH=full]50080[/ATTACH] FIaSP more susceptible to warmer temperature & doesn’t last as long out fridge. Used Frio cooler which I don’t do with NovoRapid unless abroad on holiday FIaSP Disposable Pen mechanism doesn’t feel as ‘certain’ as Novorapid pen - small shots sometimes left me wondering if it actually administered. FIaSP pen same & similar colour to Tresiba pen so could easily be confused. [emoji85] Conclusion Evidently FIaSP advantage is it works quicker so able to decrease injection lead time. Also worked better to counteract liver dumps. I will be reverting back to Novorapid as more consistent & reliable to ensure better overall balance. I also don’t need to administer as much. [/QUOTE]
