[QUOTE="mountainman, post: 815237, member: 167280"] Tresiba yes, but I don't know anyone taking it. I had read that the very long acting insulins can stress the pancreas in Type II where they still are producing some insulin and that it can push the pancreas to work very hard, burning it out so to speak, then they end up Type I. Maybe you can tell me if you have heard of this or teach me further about Tresiba. I would imagine it is hard to figure out just how long Tresiba is acting also, average 40 hours, but that could vary so much, I could picture someone thinking they are covered for this time period when they really are not, and get into a good-sized hyperglycemic situation. PEGLispro, no, I know nothing. Freestyle Libre doesn't give a read out automatically , so I would think the Dexcom CGM would be more convenient. I also heard that the Libre may be tricky to use in really cold weather in some countries when you have to take the device out to do the reading. I look forward to learning what more I can if you can fill me in -- if you have time - Two jobs keep me on the run. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
