Hi All,
It's been a long time since I've posted/ been active on the forum! Am in need of some advise regarding Tresiba & dawn phenomenon.
I have always understood Tresiba to be an ultra long acting insulin - and to date I have found its action to be as such, especially at larger doses. However, having revisited Dr Bernsteins Diabetes Solution, I have concerns with regards to bolusing large volumes of insulin at one site.
I am trying to figure out a suitable split dosing pattern for Tresiba, it's not been the most successful yet, especially with dawn phenomenon - my BGs appear to be be rising up from 3am from 4/5mmolL up to 12+ mmol by 6am. This rise wasn't so pronounced with my previous dosing regime and I could get away with 1-4 iu of Humalog upon rising to cover my rise up til I get to work at the office.
I've searched the forums but there is very little on splitting basals (specifically Tresiba) - does anyone else on here use this method? Any advise greatly appreciated. I am using the Libre.
Previous regime: Single shot of 20 units at 6 pm, 1-4iu Humalog upon rising.
Current regime: 2x7iu @ 6pm, 7iu upon waking + correction dose!
