WHAT FIASP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fiasp is a mealtime insulin with a fast-acting blood sugar lowering

helps to prevent complications from
your diabetes.
Fiasp should be injected up to 2 minutes before the start of the meal,
with an option to inject up to
20 minutes after starting the meal.
This medicine has its maximum effect between 1 and 3 hours after the
