[QUOTE="Damian1991, post: 2687277, member: 112954"] Hi all, I recently changed long acting insulins from Lantus to Tresiba. I did this due to experiencing 2 'Lantus lows' which dropped me low dramatically within 20-30 minutes of the injection with no fast acting left in my system at the point of taking the lantus and with a very steady level for the previous 6 hours. My understanding is that this is much less likely to happen with Tresiba, however if you go digging on google you will find stories of people adamant this has happened on Tresiba also. I feel like I am on quite a large dose of long acting, 30 units a day (100kg in body weight, Male, 6ft 3"). This used to be split 15/15 on Lantus but is now just 1 dose of 30 on Tresiba. My levels during the day and night (Libre 2 fitted) are very steady on 30 units so i dare say the dosage is correct. My question is, although perhaps not neccessary because of the long acting profile of Tresiba, would i get the same benefit from Tresiba by splitting my dose 15/15 or even 10/10/10 or would this mess things up? This potential split is purely out of fear for a single 30 unit injection going wrong, whereas a 10 or 15 unit injection I feel would be more manageable. I appreciate any thoughts, suggestions or experiences. Thanks, Damian [/QUOTE]
