Fiasp for Diabetes, Type 1 Reviews

"I switched from Aphidra to Fiasp because both my primary and secondary insurance stopped covering it. I was using the Omnipod pump and the Fiasp worked well with it. My endocrinologist suggested I go to the T-Slim Tandem pump that communicates with the Dexcom G6 sensor system. Fiasp does not work well with that system... it tends to clog the tubing."


"Been using Fiasp for 4 years...in tandem with Tresiba (long-acting). This combination seems to work best at keeping me in or reasonably close to my target range. I use the cartridge Fiasp dosing with a permanent pen called 'InPen'. I know Novo Nordisk keeps saying it makes a permanent pen, but have yet to see one available in the US. This process of dosing as needed with Fiasp, having auto recording and tracking of both short and long-acting insulin, auto calculation of on-board insulin is exactly what I needed. I can still enjoy my life, exercise, or just eat anything and keep it all working relatively easily. PS, my insurance killed Fiasp from their formulary, but my Endo was able to argue an exception was needed for my coverage...good doc.!"


"My insurance doesn’t cover Humalog any longer so I have been using Fiasp for the past 2 years. I am not a fan of this insulin. The injector on the pens often does not work well and the insulin does not lower blood sugars accurately. At least one of the pens in the box are worthless and I end up throwing them away. I end up going through my “monthly” supply twice as fast as I should. I’d go back to Humalog in a heartbeat if I could."


"I have been a Type 1 Diabetic for 51 years. My body will only use a brand of insulin for maybe 2 or 3 days or maybe a month. I take lots of brands of insulin. Fiasp is a very good insulin and I am thrilled to have been able to be on it. I am now on Medicare and my Fiasp isn't covered. I am going to miss using this insulin."


"Was on Humalog until my insurance company stopped covering it so I was put on Fiasp. Works fast. I would say about the same as Humalog. I use pens."
