Thanks for that.

WoW serious research there. I'm afraid the drug names don't mean anything to me I've only ever been on Toujeo.

Mid teens most nights after dinner, usually eating between 7 and 8. The toujeo doesn't kick in so by 12 or 1am I am concerned about going to bed on this mmol. Last night it was 21 due to the Depo Medrone effect but I felt toujeo was of very little use in treating a spike and elevated levels...

I am on Toujeo for over a year now and to be honest, it is very slow to respond in the evening and often I may have late teen blood/sugar readings if I have my meal after 8pm. I am following a diet and am careful about pairing foods and the order in which they are eaten plus the actual portion...

Never felt sleepy on the DuoResp, returned to Beclazone for maintenance and very rarely Ventolin for chronic episodes

I empathise as I have found since going on insulin my levels are higher especially in the evening. High levels of course are concerning so I have my Q&A ready for when i get the phone consult. Write it all down and have it beside you either on the phone or for an inperson consult. Don't be...

Many thanks a lot if this I wasn't familiar with. Am awaiting a phone consultation with the hospital team although it's always rushed. I take 14 units @2100 having moved it earlier by 1 hour. I try to eat my main meal between 1900 and 2000 Toujeo can't seem to cope if I eat later and frankly is...

Thanks for your prompt reply. No since a scare a few months ago I really watch my food and how I mix carbs, proteins etc. The problem is Toujeo just doesn't suit me, it takes far too long to work and leaves me hardly any latitude for the most modest of sweet things, a biscuit or a bottle of...

Hello I'm Les, I am 67 a retired broadcast journalist and live in Ireland. But enjoy travelling in Europe especially Spain and Italy. I enjoy visiting the UK but Brexit has made life sooooo complicated for everybody. I attend exercise classes for those with long term conditions, supplemented by...

Good Morning just checking in here. My diabetes has been controlled until last year when I was put on Insulin Toujeo and TBH that's when it all started to go pear shaped. I'm not sure if I post the issues in this thread or exclusively Type 2 so some advice would be appreciated. In short the...
