[QUOTE="brendan101, post: 1212422, member: 179417"] Hi, I wanted to say that I use Tresiba at 10pm every night. I used to use Lantus at a similar time and my BG would always tend to creep up from 5pm the following day. Now my levels are completely flat. It does take time to find your dose as the literature says it lasts for a long time so my advice is to allow 4 days maybe even 5 days for any dose change to take effect. I currently take 35 units and this has not changed apart from when I am lucky enough to have the inhalable insulin Afrezza. Then I get non-diabetic numbers. However we are not talking Afrezza here. Titrating Tresiba should be done with care as I increased too much way up to 44 units initially and by the time it all settled down I was going low all the time. 35 is perfect for me being 105kg. To address the exercise question earlier, I do BodyPump and spin classes and I do not go low after these during the night with Tresiba. IT was a constant problem for me on Lantus. I hope this helps folks! That's all for now..... [/QUOTE]
