    Lantus to Tresiba

    hi can anyone tell me how they have found the change to Tresiba from lantus. I hear it’s a lot more steady and less sting. I’m also interested to know about the flexibility side of things when making adjustments as I know it tends to last longer than lantus. Thank you

So little one is currently trying...
