[QUOTE="etmsreec, post: 2109123, member: 22426"] For me, Levemir was much better than Lantus, and Tresiba was much better than Levemir. I had some trouble in sorting out the split in my doses on Levemir. Levemir is one of the shorter acting basal insulins, so splitting the dose is quite common, from what I understand. Tresiba, if you're able to get it, is a much longer acting insulin, so doesn't need to be split, and will be in the body for upwards of 26 hours. This does have the side effect of not being able to adjust basal doses for weekends or rest days, as one might with Levemir. Whether on Levemir or Tresiba, it's best to leave about three days between adjustments to basal rates, so that they bed in properly. Lantus, just to give full information, made me very drowsy. I could fall asleep just sitting down to take my shoes off. Once I had swapped off Lantus and onto Levemir, I got my life back again. [/QUOTE]
