Update on Fiasp insulin

17 August 2023

Diabetes Australia have been consistently talking with both the Federal Government and Novo Nordisk about the need for a solution before 1 October 2023.

We have been advised that negotiations are continuing.

Both the Government and the manufacturer have been made aware of the significant angst this is causing the diabetes community 

Diabetes Australia will continue to advocate on this issue. We have set up a page – Fight for Fiasp – where you can lend your voice and advocate on this issue.

We will keep you updated, as and when we hear anything on this issue.

Keywords: Advocacy, Insulin, Medicines
