I think it can help a ton! I'm a Type 1 diabetic who is a naturopath as well and I think that my approach is to help use food and exercise to stabilize sugars (even if you are already on medication) and supplements to help prevent some of the damage that higher blood sugar can do to the tissues.

I just started using it myself and have seen it work better for a few clients. My takeaway is that it has a faster onset of action so it's nice for folks whose insulin peaks are off with meals. So for those clients (or for yourself!) where you see spikes after a meal but it looks like the timing is just off vs. the amount of insulin the Fiasp can be helpful because of it's faster onset of action! I use an insulin pump so haven't notice a huge shift as far as my basal rates (yet). Let us know how it goes!
