hello all! Hope you all are well and had a great holiday!
Insurance had switched me from lantus to Tresiba. Reading about Tresiba it sounds to be more powerful and much longer lasting. It also says it takes 4-6 days for the full effect. Some people say thier sugars are not steady. I was taking 4 units of lantus and will continue that dose with Tresiba until I find differently. Lantus never lasted until morning. I’d get a sharp spike after 3 am and need a bolus correction.
So my question is ,
How do you think Tresiba compares to lantus or levimere?
Is it harder to control?
Do you need less bolus for food?
Any side effects? I hear edema and weight gain are very common.
Any nuances I should know about?
I was used to lantus being gone well before I woke up and just relied on humalog during the day.
I’m not sure if my diet matters but I eat beef, salt, seltzer and wine only. Nothing else. This has improved my health greatly but it’s a bit harder to control bs.
Thanks so much for any and all advice and comments.
