I am 45 years old, type 1 diabetic for 25 years. I recently switched from Lyumjev to Fiasp. Over the past week, my blood sugar has barely reached 260, and it spikes rapidly. Despite increasing the amount of insulin I take, unfortunately, there hasn’t been any improvement. Fiasp takes longer to take effect, whether as a corrective or a meal bolus, compared to Lyumjev.
I made this switch because my insurance plan provider charges significantly less for a generic name prescription.

@hishamganz I resent it when I have to choose healthcare treatments based on what my insurance will allow (instead of what my provider recommends). Then again the insurance holds the purse strings. I have experienced this type of thing several times. My provider has been very understanding of insurance requirements and has been helpful to find solutions that provide the best healthcare for me without upsetting insurance. A couple of times this has meant submitting documentation about why a particular treatment is necessary and explaining that the insurance authorized product is unacceptable. Could you ask your provider for this kind of support?
