When I started to notice weight loss and extreme thirst I immediately thought it could be diabetes. I thought I had it for about 6mos. Just had to wait to see a doctor because they were booked up.
I got switched from Levimir to Tresiba about a month after my diagnosis. My Endocrinologist and my diabetic educator said Tresiba is a more stable base. After taking it I definitely see the difference. With Levimir I would have a lot more ups and downs, especially later in the day. I like it so far.
