What is the difference between this and Lantus?
I switched from lantus to tresiba 3 or 4 months ago. The main differences for me are:
1: No more risk of 'Lantus lows', the main reason why I switched insulins. I've only experienced one of these lows and that was quite enough, thank you.
2: Wonderful flat profile all day.
3: No more stinging injections.
4: I've been on lantus for half a year or so, and I started to get problems with my knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows and wrists, up to the point where I even avoided a trip to the kitchen if I could. Asked my doctor if it could be the lantus (had been googling), he said no and ordered various blood tests. Nothing came up. A few weeks later I switched to tresiba, thanks to being terrified of lantus after that hypo. The aches disappeared, leaving only the normal aches of a 40 year old overweight woman with a nasty bursitis.
5: Nothing happens when I take my before bed shot a couple of hours early or late, and I can even get away with an unexpected sleepover without it.
