[QUOTE="richyb, post: 1205867, member: 255556"] Hi there I am using touj(eo. been on it for about 5months. Before that I was on Humulin insulin though this I found to be not good for my control (type 1 for 50yrs). The Toujeo is a long acting insulin that is claimed to last up to 36 hrs. This is normally taken once daily at roughly the same time (within a max of 3hours). I take this but also have my short acting insulin with my meals ( i take humalog 200) using the normal carb counting ratio regime. The Toujeo I take is 300 strengh, what this means is that only a third of the normal insulin volume goes into the body. This improved insulin injection sites. Once the correct dose is found it is quite good with me. Night time (sleeping) is very good and hypos are rare or non existant. Day time is good once the correct dose is found. Only trouble I have found is I can get it near perfect for a few weeks then something changes and I have to adjust dosage again but this alway's has happened with me. It takes 3 or 4 days to fully see the differences the adjustments has made. This is because the 36 hr Toujeo overlaps each day's dose [/QUOTE]
