[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1883723, member: 30007"] My experience with Fiasp is that my basal requirements increased by about 20% and my carb ratio eventually increased by about 30%-40%. The other thing to be aware of is that the "real" duration of insulin action (i.e. how long it remains in the system from 0 to max to 0) on Fiasp is about 6-7 hours, while the Insulin action time (the period over which you can observe things happening) is more like five hours. (Read this for more info [URL]https://www.diabettech.com/insulin/why-we-are-regularly-wrong-in-the-duration-of-insulin-action-dia-times-we-use-and-why-it-matters/[/URL]) You should absolutely never set the DIA in a pump to 2 hours or 3 hours. It's simply not physically possible to get the insulin out of your body in that time, as it takes about 55 mins to clear 50% of any insulin added (i.e. a half life of 55 mins). [/QUOTE]
