Fiasp is a fast-acting mealtime insulin that works quickly to suppress blood sugar levels that rise quickly as a person eats a meal, and it is used for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes treatment regimens. It is known as a flexible rapid acting insulin with the way it can be taken immediately preceding the start of a meal to give users more freedom with when they’ll eat.

This is a rapid-acting insulin that can be taken during meals or after them, and it starts to work for blood sugar control in as little as 2.5 minutes.
