Lantus or Toujeo

[ThePQ88]

Hey guys! I am still undecided as to whether to use lantus or Toujeo.

Anyone else use either/or and able to offer any advice? Cheers in advance

I use lantus. Initially took one dose at bedtime & would then have hypos during sleep, changed to morning injection of lantus which resulted in a.m. highs, lantus ran out after 22.5 hours for me. Now I split my lantus. 8 units @ 7a.m. & 6 units @ 10a.m. & it works well for me. I have never heard of toujeo. X

I think toujeo is available in UK as it was considered for me but the Consultant said she had no experience of it!! So I went on to tresiba.
Happy with tresiba.

18 units of Lantus in the eve...no problems so far...I hear if you hit a vessel during injection, Lantus can cause hypos...no such issues so far..crossed fingers

Wow I take 9 for entire day. You guys take so much lantus? How come such a big diff? If I do 10 I get hypo party whole day.
Agree better in the morning than at night. At least conscious and able to snack every now and then.

I used Lantus at first as my DSN gave me one pen.. when I used up that first pen I was prescribed Toujeo.. I had no problems with either.. I only required smallish doses of 12 units each day tho with 6 units of Novorapid at mealtimes.

I would be looking to try both and see what one suits me best.....

I only ever took Lantus back in 2010 but it didn't last 24 hours so I moved onto a split Levemir until the pump came along...
