tresiba

Hi guys, I am becoming extremely worried I have been working in a new job (personal trainer and fitness instructor) foe the last few months. I don't get home until 10 ish so am eating my dinner around 10.30pm. I take tresiba 16 u at 8 am km the morning do fasted cardio and don't have breakfast...

Morning lovelies. As some of you are no doubt aware, I’ve been whining a lot recently about having to wake up at 3-6am to soma correction dose for the raging dawn phenomenon I’ve been getting, and having to eat when I don’t want to in order to avoid a slump late afternoon/early evening. I...

I read in passing a post by @donnellysdogs where she said she was taking two basals, but can’t find it anywhere to refer to, so thought I’d ask the hive mind rather them PM her in case it’s useful to anyone else. You may recall I’ve mentioned before that I seem to be quite insulin resistant in...

Hi all, So a bit of background: I'm a T1 diabetic of 15+ years and have been on Novolog + Lantus for a good portion of that time. Not the very best but an A1C usually around a 7. Last week after visiting the doctor and asking him about Tresiba and all the good stuff I was hearing I was...

Hi all, should my dose of tresiba hd my blood sugar flat or slowly drop it over the cause of the day or night? At 11pm my sugars were 10. Woke up at 7 and they where 5. I am seeing through and inbetween meals that my sugars drop slowly. Should I be aiming for flat, and if so should I continue...

Hello, I am going back from insulin pump and testing Tresiba as basal. After few weeks, I have the impression that it lasts a little bit less than 24 hours, giving me some episodes of high values and ketosis close to the time of the daily injection. Did anyone experience something similar ? Is...

Hi all, any advice on doses of tresiba would be great. I am on lantus but changing on Tuesday. I take 27u at the moment but believe the new insulin works for circa 48hrs. Does this require a different type of does or time of day to take it? Thanks Keith

I was diagnosed LADA last August and put on lantus and novorapid. In my consultant appointment in October they told me it was normal to feel exhausted because my body was adjusting to sugar levels of <10 rather than >30, but something just didn't feel right. I upped my vitamins, reduced carbs...

I changed over to Tresiba from Lantus 5 weeks ago and have been struggling a bit with dropping low, especially when out and about during the day. I have quite an active lifestyle so need to work out how to manage this. Tried a basal test last night - never done one before - so wanted to check...

Hello Everyone! My name's Sean O'Sullivan and I've been T1 since I was 5. I'm now 23 and because of being stupid when I was younger and not looking after my diabetes, I have some retinopathy problems. I've been on a waiting list for almost a year to see a diabetic specialist and finally got to...

I'm 42 and have been T2 diabetic for 8 years now, although it's only in the last year that I've been moved onto insulin in conjunction with Metformin. I'm in a position now where I feel personally happy with my day-to-day blood readings (I'm down to 7 or 8 from 17+ daily), however, my morning...

Hi I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after having DKA and spending time in the hospital. Anwayss... im still on fixed doses (until my carb counting course) and they are currently 8 units at breakfast, 8 for lunch and 11 at dinner time. I am on novorapid in the daytime. I am on 30 units of...

Hi, I am about to change from Levimir to Tresiba.. Does Tresiba only come as a pre filled pen? That's what I received from the chemist.. phoned my doctors to ask and they are less than useless.. *sigh* Thanks in advance..

Hi all, I'll be starting on Tresiba today or tomorrow. It's the first time in years I've had a basal that I only take once a day (I'm currently on 2x Levemir) and I was just wondering for those who are using it as well - does it matter whether I take it in the morning or at night in your...

Hi all, haven't posted in a very long time but I've recently (thanks to the Freestyle Libre) got back in to taking a very active interest in managing my diabetes again (yay me!) Anyhow, I was reading the book "Think like a pancreas", and in the bit about basal insulins I noticed it said for...

Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone has had to switch their Tresiba injection time from evenings to mornings, if yes why ? I have been having some issues with late mornings hypos but if I reduce Tresiba in the evening I get a high night... :'(

Just wondering if anyone else has had problems with Tresiba pens? I've had so many where the mechanism breaks down after about one third of the insulin has been used. I feel angry about this, because although I can get replacement ones on prescription, this must be a huge cost to the NHS (I know...

More than 95% of the reviews/comments that I read about the tresiba made me confident that it is THE basal to try as everyone appreciates its safety and efficiency. I started 3 days ago, but I seem to have lots of problems. I was at a 8 units daily dose of levemir, and I am injecting 8 units of...

Started taking Tresiba 4 nights ago, not sure if a test shot is nessesary as with other insulin pens as the dosing system is internal. I do test shots but it pushes out about 6 units of insulin, seems a terrible waste! Please help

Hello. I'm T1 and until last night had been taking 18 units of Levemir each evening. I was given Tresiba yesterday and advised to inject two units less. I went steadily up all night to 17.9 when my woke thirsty and groggy at 5am. Has anyone else made the switch, and if so, please could you give...
