ive been on fiasp for months now and i have not experienced this i do quite a lot 1-2unit corrections and find it works well .maybe the exception might be if ive eaten a particulary fatty meal it doesnt work as quick but i tend to split the dose when i do this hope this helps and i hope you get this sortedIve been on fiasp for just over a month now, generally its been an improvment over humalog i was on before. The only thing ive noticed is when I make a small correction to my blood sugars (say 1 or 2 units of fiasp) nothing seems to happen. Has anyone else experianced this?
Sadly, yes. This is colloquially known as the "Fiasp-as-water" effect and quite a lot of us have seen it. It also manifests as "I've bolused for food but my glucose levels won't stop rising" and "I've had to take three times as much insulin as normal to manage that meal".Ive been on fiasp for just over a month now, generally its been an improvment over humalog i was on before.

It can be really frustrating and seems to affect a fair number of T1Ds. It's also not always obvious when or why it's happening. YOu have to keep an eye on it. One of the things that many pumpers have noticed is that Correction factor and Carb Ratio changes dramatically. Mmy went from 1u:10g to 1u:5g when using Fiasp
I'm completely convinced that it's the Nicotinamide in the mix causing the issues.Is that compared to novorapid? It's interesting if it is, because the insulin analogue is the same, there's just a couple of extra bits in fiasp to (apparently) help uptake.

@helensaramay - pumpers are the people who are seeing some of the greatest issues with it, and Novo's own study which looked at Fiasp use in pumps didn't have amazing outcomes. It's the one ONSET study they haven't trumpeted the results of. I won't say it's a majority, but there's a fairly significant minority who have problems with it, and many consultants report people giving up on it fairly quickly.
I used it for a bit, but then it also stopped working, so I went back to Humalog.Hi Tim, I can't remember who's blog I read but it might have been you. Did you not mix 50/50 Fiasp and NovoRapid to bring back the rapid Fiasp absorption profile that had diminished a few months after use?.
It seems to be that my carb ratio, onset and daily dose has become significantly worse for me. Fiasp seems to have no significant fast onset anymore, so perhaps I see the first activity at 60 mins, sometimes up to 80mins. I also find the same 'Fiasp like water' effect all too often.
From what I've heard there are good reports mixing two insulin aspart (commonly NovoRapid) for pump use. This seems to address the resistance to the B3 vitamin that causes the raise in insulin resistance, but also helps with a more balanced absorbtion profile that is much like the 15 mins onset that Fiasp commonly has when first using it.
I'll be starting this combo in the next couple of week. fingers crossed.
