Hi, I just wanted to add my experience with fiasp. I've only been on it for a week and I'm just hoping things continue like this.
I've been on novorapid for decades, with different long-acting insulins tried, recently tresiba.
I've struggled for maybe 15 years with blood sugar going up to maybe 16 after breakfast, coming down by lunchtime. Then up again after lunch and down by suppertime. Then DROPPING every night at 3 am and coming up to normal by breakfast. So my pre-meal glucose looked great but I was out of target a lot of the time.
On fiasp, my glucose is only going up by a couple of units after meals, and coming back down to normal quickly. It's been stable all day and also not dropping at night! My libre 2 analysis says I'm in target for over 90% of the day. It used to be less than 40%.
I feel as if my diabetes is actually controllable again and I'm just hoping desperately that this continues. Sorry @Kel3 I obviously can't promise you'll get the same response if you try it, but I wanted to tell you my experience.
 
#rebrascora completely agree with the way having to have large amounts of insulin upsets your mind.. I'm on 30units BI so hope that gives you comfort!
My advice is to keep a diary ask your DSN for a template, that way you can give them way more info and hopefully then adapt whatever needs changing methodically. I personally love a diary and keep one and it makes me happy and feel more in control.
I have previously tried Fiasp and didn't like it, felt like it didn't do what it said on the tin. I'm on NR for my QA and only need to inject 15mins prior to eating so this works well for me.
I hope you find the solution to what works best, I'm sure having Covid is playing a part in your wandering control.
