Being put on this as Novorapid just seems to take ages to react. Anyone any feedback on it please i.e benefits/disadvantages. Thank you.
If you are having consistently high blood sugars in the morning, this suggests your overnight basal is too low.Although the very fact that I am out of range on waking will prevent me from doing a basal test in the morning...
Well sometimes my bs plummets as soon as i take it (last night 14 to 4 in 3hrs) and other nights it will be stable,in range,then shoot up about 5am..dawn ph or lack of Lantus?If you are having consistently high blood sugars in the morning, this suggests your overnight basal is too low.
Yes I am on Libre 2. As I have said in another reply there are 2 differing patterns overnight. I've been told myhba1c is too good forsaken a pump.Are you using a libre or dexcom @DiabeticDi ?
This would make it easier to tell whether you are flat at night (and just going up in the morning because of dawn phenomena) or just creeping up all night....
Assuming you are in the UK then you should qualify for one. If it's dawn phenomena that is the issue, you might have a case for a pump (assuming you want one).
I've injected Fiasp whilst on a pump using apidra and at a later date humalog. Was told to do this at pump training. Works far quicker for me, at any rate. You just have to be careful to not hypo.Has anyone used FIASP manually, while on a pump which uses Novolog? For example, if you have a spike for some reason and are trying to get BG down, waiting for the Novolog in the pump to do it, even with a correction bolus seems to take forever. I mean over 4 hours! To be able to address the spike quicker would be ideal. Even taking Novolog bolus manually, seems to take too long. I think the spikes have resulted after an infusion set change and perhaps the infusion site is not good and I’m not absorbing the insulin. I then have to change the set and insert in new site. Getting back on track takes too long, imo.
Everyone's experience of Fiasp is a bit different. I switched from Novorapid a year or so ago and found no real difference in how quick it works. The advice I was given at the time was to leave everything the same initially and then see what happens. Not sure if that advice works for you though - I'd check with your care team.Hi Everyone,
I am just about to trial using Fiasp in my medtronic Minimed 640 G ( i.e not closed loop). I realise that it is meant to work more quickly - so did anyone change the timings of their basal profile? I am wondering if they need to be the same, 1/2 hour later or an hour later than Novorapid.
I also eat a low carb diet so am not sure whether Fiasp may work too quickly and I'll end yo with hypos. Any thoughts.
