Hi,
I’m having major issues with Toujeo. I started it back in May (previously Lantus) and had a reasonable start with helping my blood sugars.
In the last two weeks I’ve had to go to A&E for constant low glucose levels. This has happened 2 hours after Toujeo injection lasting the duration of the night. This has now repeated it self on 4 occasions.
I use Humalog for meals and carb count thoroughly. It’s as though I’ve injected more quick acting insulin (I know I haven’t).
DN has told me to lower the dose. It now seems like I have no background insulin during the day and having horrific highs for no reason.
I am tempted to go back to Lantus - when I changed over many months ago the dosage was the same 22 units. If I decide to go back to Lantus can I go back to same dose (Toujeo is 36 hours - which I find confusing)
Thanks In advance !
