Novo Nordisk released news last week that its faster-acting fast-acting insulin has been approved by the FDA. No need for US citizens to cross the border to Canada to get it anymore!
Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
Fiasp® can be dosed at the beginning of a meal or within 20 minutes after starting a meal. Fiasp® is a new formulation of NovoLog®, in which the addition of niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps to increase the speed of the initial insulin absorption, resulting in an onset of appearance in the blood in approximately 2.5 minutes.2 Fiasp® will be available in a pre-filled delivery device FlexTouch® pen and a 10 mL vial.1
