[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1360061, member: 17713"] With all other basal insulin I have had problems but now finally with tresiba and stupid as it sounds-having a bit of slcinammon added to my chai teas throughout the day my insulin needs have jyst dropped and the last two days have been totally fantastic with basal testing. I have also come off a tablet on 5th Jan which gave bad side effects but the most recent change was having the equivalent of a teaspoon of cinammon as well spread throughout the day in my teas... I think tresiba degludec insulin is also better to be honest. It is suiting me more now than when I was physically so active all day, everyday. To be honest if your levels are not good your Consultant and hospital staff should be seeing you more. Persevere with messages on the answerphones (why does every hospital department do this now?) and say you need an urgent appointment to review dire levels... they should respond. (Not saying they are dire, just not great!!) Also your target range is set quite high? Is there a reason for this? Ie hypos previously?? Are you using libre to calculate food doses of insulin or are you doing it from a meter? Or calculating in your head? [/QUOTE]
