[QUOTE="StewM, post: 2439948, member: 538114"] Hi there, I’ve been having some unusual experiences with Fiasp. In June, I found my Fiasp slowing down, due to sudden extreme spikes after meals which, if left uncorrected, would fall back down on their own. This happened consistently with foods with all sorts of GI. Realising the issue, I kept prebolusing by more and more until in September I was having to prebolus by 40mins a meal and I was still seeing sudden spikes and late drops until… I got a stomach virus. During the virus I couldn’t hold down solids at all. I had to increase my Basal by 15% to keep my levels steady. Once I recovered from the virus something unusual happened. Suddenly my Fiasp was working faster than it ever had. At the moment, I can’t prebolus at all and have to take Fiasp after I eat to prevent my Blood Sugar dropping like a rock (only to rocket up later*). I’m still pushing back my postbolusing at the moment and still getting Lows promptly after eating. Has anyone else experienced such an issue with Fiasp? btw, I’m certain it’s the Fiasp as 1) I’m seeing incredibly stable overnight readings. 2) I accidentally didn’t take my Insulin with Lunch one day, and found my Blood Sugar shot up like a rocket in the absence of Fiasp. I took it an hour after eating (realising my mistake) and it only took an hour to come back down to normal after hitting 16 (which is unusual given Fiasp isn’t exactly fast at those levels). *due to the hypo being caused by Insulin timing rather than excess Insulin. EDIT: Just for added context, I’m sure I’m not overtreating the hypo as there’s usually a gap of at least an hour after returning to normal range post-hypo before the spike occurs. The only exception being, a second low happening around an hour after the first one was successfully treated, and then my Blood Sugar shoots to the moon upon treating the second hypo in the same manner as the first.
