Hi I changed insulins last night from Toujeo to Tresiba. Told by DSN to take same dose of 22 which I did. Went to bed higher at 16 by morning level dropped by 12. Nurse said not to adjust dose and stick with it. Feel completely wiped out this afternoon and shaky although levels not hypo...

Hi how did your transition go from lantus to tresiba were you told to use same doses of? Thanks

Hi becca59 Can I also ask which insulin you were using before Toujeo I am about to start with Tresiba but very worried about the overlap and going hypo. DSNs say use same doses of 22 per night. I've named my hypos jumanji that's exactly how lows make me feel. Heart beating like a drum ...

Hi If I reduce basal unfortunately my Ketones rise.. Thanks

Hi, yes tried omnipod pump didn't work out for me it's a long story Libre readings vary usually by couple of levels. I take blood tests for meal times and checking highs and lows. Thanks

Hi thanks for your replies. I'm using novorapid my food peak is 90 minutes have discussed with DSNs who advised to inject straight after food. Think our experiences are very similar@muneeb. I discussed Fiasp with my DSNs she thought may be too fast acting for me. I'm up most nights sat on...

Hi juicyj My morning level normally 5.9 I only have one shredded wheat and 1 slice of multi grain bread. Cup of tea. Im on mdis luck I have a Libre so that helps with monitoring. Total 34 carbs breakfast every morning. Injected 6.5 units. This varies 2 hours later levels 11. 9. Had a...

Thanks for your reply tried the pump for couple of months had lots of problems with ended up in hospital with Ketones. Pumps work for some but definitely not me. I've lost a lot of weight have always been quite small so no problem with weight. I eat a fairly simple diet and try stick to meal...

Sorry you have been so unwell I had the same bug a couple of weeks ago. Had problems keeping my levels above 3 next time I'm going for sugared water. Glad you are recovering take it slowly took me 14 days to feel anywhere near better. Take care.

Two hours after meals my levels are never under 9 if I kept them that tight would be in hypo land. What should they be after 4 hours? Theory and Practice. I don't have huge amounts of carbs tried nuts for snacks but don't work for me. Can't eat eggs so always trying to find another low carb...

Hi I am trying to get an iport advance the suppliers won't issue me as they have duty of care. They want a letter of support from Doctor or DSNs I have spoken to DSNs 3x and left messages but they are not getting back to me. Very frustrating. My skin is sore and painful. I live in hope.

I have spoken to two DSNs who both tell me to use like for like doses. When I ask further about insulin I am taking they say that Toujeo is a new insulin and don't know much about!!! . Not much advice with Tresiba I did ask quite a few questions but got similar reply to Toujeo handed a leaflet...

Thanks to you all for replies. To clarify following breakfast if after an hour my knees are shaky and I still have 4 units of insulin on board my aim is to head off the hypo and stabilise before reaching hypo. No I don't do this everyday but tea and a biscuit doesn't work for me when going...

Thanks both. Unfortunately my ratios change on a daily basis, fluctuations hard to manage. I eat virtually same amount of carbs every day. As long as I can stabilise before going too low I'm OK with that. I want a gentle sugar level rise everything I try feels too fast. Happy with sprinkle of...

Thank you so much for your reassurance I am very worried so trying to put measures in place in case of hypos. Have requested glucagon pen plus will have plenty of sugar to hand in case I nose dive like last week. Fingers crossed. How are you getting on with Treseba?

After exhausting experience with low blood sugars I eventually opted for cup of tea with sugar this morning. My levels started to drop one hour after injecting novorapid I still had 4 units on board and 3 hours left. My knees were shaking, so fed up of eating carbs when I don't want them went...

Thanks all, I was told that my experience was unusual interesting this has happened to others . I am quite skinny won't inject in my right leg since this happened. I will be transitioning to tresiba soon have posted another message.

After bad hypo last week on Toujeo I am switching to Tresiba my DSN advises to use same dosage and take at night. My one concern is that Toujeo is meant to be 24 hour lasting. Tresiba information states lasting 40 hours. I have doubled checked that I should stopsToujeo and replace with...

Thanks everyone for your replies my internet connection not good otherwise would reply sooner. I am having a nightmare I'm struggling everyday saw DSN last week who said she doesn't know much about Toujeo and to stick with it. She wasn't prescribing DSN . I was on lantus which wasn't great...

I had a really terrible experience Monday evening after injecting 23 units of Toujeo my blood sugars dropped like a stone. From 14 to 2 in half an hour. I put emergency plan into action .orange juice, dextrose, wine gums, biscuit, chocolate, half sandwich and sugar in water. Eventually called...
