More than 95% of the reviews/comments that I read about the tresiba made me confident that it is THE basal to try as everyone appreciates its safety and efficiency. I started 3 days ago, but I seem to have lots of problems. I was at a 8 units daily dose of levemir, and I am injecting 8 units of tresiba daily now.
The problem is not only do I wake up with high blood sugar (but under levemir I wasn't), but my bolus (humalog) insulin seems not to work as well as before; I am taking 200% of the humalog doses I am used too, for every meal, and I am still almost always in hyperglycemia.
What does that mean? My body is now producing antibodies against all insulins? I have an infection due to the new insulin?
Did that ever happen to anyone starting tresiba? Any feedback would be soooo helpful!!
Thanks...
I will try to take 14 units of tresiba tonight and augment gradually the doses. If the situation fails to resolve, I give myself 3 weeks to get back to levemir.
