Mmmmm - I've never tried Humalog so no idea how quick it might kick in for me. However Novorapid kicks in after c 10 minutes, so does that mean this stuff would start working yesterday for me? (Now that could be useful sometimes ! :D )
 
The usefulness of an ultra fast acting insulin is eliminating the need to pre bolus. If you’ve ever pre bolussed for a meal, eaten it then thrown up as I did once at the beginning of a brush with the Norovirus, it can cause problems. The next couple of days weren’t much of a problem, of course, but those few early hours were quite tricky.
 
Mm, but is it likely to make you to wish to change your everyday insulin for the new one because of one isolated incident in your life?

I on the other hand have had many different occasions over the years on MDI (didn't happen before they invented that method) when for whatever reason I have jabbed pre meal believing it to be imminent but it hasn't been and I've gone hypo (like down below 2) whilst trying to eat anything I could that was full of sugar and then not wanting the ruddy food when it arrived cos I had to stuff my face with best part off a jar of jam or else half a pint of freezing cold full sugar Coke. I do not pre bolus, far too risky!
 
Fiasp starts working within 2 minutes so that's quicker than the 9 mins mentioned in the article.
