Description
Fiasp FlexTouch Pens (100 units/mL) is a fast-acting type of insulin (insulin aspart) used by adults and children with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It effectively manages blood glucose (sugar) levels and avoids developing any severe complications.
The Fiasp formulation contains Vitamin B3 (niacinamide) and L-arginine to stabilize the formulation. The type of medication Fiasp produces is called insulin aspart.
It is taken to replace the insulin that is not sufficiently produced by the body and helps properly deliver glucose into cells.
Typically it is prescribed by doctors along with long-acting insulin types and other diabetes medications.
Fiasp insulin should be used as part of a treatment program that should incorporate a proper diet, regular exercise, and weight loss as instructed by your doctor.
By taking Fiasp insulin as part of your diabetes treatment, it may help create a healthier lifestyle.

Ensure you are ordering the correct pen, as there are many forms of FlexTouch pens and cartridges on the market.
Fiasp insulin is also available in vials.
