toujeo

Hi.. I was recently diagnosed with Type 1 in Feb. Levels at that time were through the roof, I had all the classic symptoms- thirst, needing the toilet a lot, headaches. Had tests and was sent straight to hospital and put on insulin. I’m currently taking Toujeo and Humalog for meals. Over the...

Hello everyone! So, the reason for my question is based on a previous event. Last month, I unfortunately had an accident in form of an insulin shock (1st ever, where my mmol/l was less than 1.0). The cause of this was due to too much background insulin, which was a split of Lantus (12 units in...

Hi there! 25 year old from Australia here. I was diagnosed with type 1 a little over a month ago and have been feeling pretty good with everything and for the most part, I have felt on top of it. When I was admitted to hospital with what I thought was food poisoning, I had a blood glucose of 24...

I was injecting around 110 units of Solostar every evening and my HbA1c was gradually increasing. My diabetes educator switched me to Toujeo. I'm injecting 170 units of Toujeo in the evening and my blood tests are even higher. I'm just wondering how much higher I should go?

For a while now I've noticed my BGs go up, even when fasting (skipping bfast), though by increasing my dosage of Toujeo (TJ) at night, I go hypo.

Hello :) I switched to Toujeo today from Levemir. Sounded like a great idea when I spoke to the nurse about it. The main reason for switching is to try to reduce weight gain..and to try to get better control. My HbA1c sits at around 8 and I struggle to get it down despite exercise and carb...

Hi. Is anyone here using Toujeo long acting insulin? Back in August last year one of the GP doctors (that specialises in diabetes) that I saw changed my long acting insulin from Lantus to Toujeo. He said it would give me a better 'profile' and said doctors don't really like to prescribe it as...

Hi! I did 2 hard(ish) runs today and my BG keeps crashing down even though I havent taken any Novorapid today. I keep spooning jam in to my mouth but it raises BG levels just slightly.. I have counted that I have taken about 350 Carbs in the last 4 hours and still my meters shows values around...

I just 'discovered' this forum and am just starting to explore it. I am 71 years old and became a Type I diabetic on Aug. 4 last year when most of my pancreas was removed. I am a retired veterinarian and after managing dogs and cats with diabetes I thought handling mine would be a breeze. It...
