[QUOTE="In Response, post: 2690035, member: 527103"] [USER=14506]@LWA[/USER] I am not sure the Tresiba/Levemir comparison is valid with regard to split dosing - depending up on your dose, Levemir can only last 12 hours whereas Tresiba lasts 36 hours. If you are splitting the Tresiba dose, you are overlapping your doses by at least 24 hours. The usual reason for splitting doses is where we (commonly) need different basal at different times of the day - this is the biggest advantage of pumping. By splitting your dose 50/50 you are not allowing this. Biographers and specialists (whoever these are) who suggest keeping a consistent level of basal, will not be referring to Tresiba which has an incredibly flat profile over its life - so providing the consistent level they suggest. They are more likely to be referring to the older basals such as Lantus/glargine which has a far from flat profile. [/QUOTE]
