Why will you be pumping with NovoRapid?
I switched to Fiasp whilst on a pump and I am not the only Fiasp pumper.
As for injecting NovoRapid with a syringe, for me this is only a short term back up, if I am out for a few hours, I can inject my bolus when I eat and basal every 30 or 60 minutes.
But, if my pump fails in such a way that it needs to be replaced, you cannot use a fast acting insulin via syringes to replace your basal throughout the night. Hence, the need for pens - you need slow acting insulin.
@helensaramay - I suspect that the reason that @Becca6510 is being put on to NovoSlow instead of Fiasp in the pump is that quite a lot of hospitals have seen users with an abnormally high number of problems with Fiasp that don't appear with NovoSlow (which is reflected in the ONSET5 trial).
Becca, which hospital are you at for your pump? The team there seem a little less than with it in relation to what is required to live with a pump.
I was switched from Novosluggish to Fiasp because I was going on the pump. I guess different teams have different views on Fiasp and Sluggish?
Be careful with Fiasp DIA. It has a tail as long as Novorapid, however, it works slightly differently, allowing more of the insulin to be absorbed upfront and having less in the tail:
The tail also last for about 7 hours, and you'll really notice it if you exercise before evening meal having bolused before lunch.
Yes. Novorapid more so than Fiasp because there is more insulin in the tail with Novorapid.Does that "you'll really notice it" also apply to Novorapid?
