Advice Needed Tresiba .

hello I have forever been on lantus I’m changing onto tresiba tomorrow I am on a split dose on lantus 30 in the morning and 30 at night , I’m type 1 insulin resistant . So my dsn has said to do 52 units in the morning as a starting of guide and to go from there which I said okay too . Now my dsn has told me it’s still 52 units going on not 104 , as I’m going onto the double strength tresiba 200 . I’ve collected from the chemist and they are worried I’ve been prescribed this and they have said that every 1 unit equals to 2 .
So my dsn just said that instead of 52 units going in I will have half the volume go in but the same dose . But the chemist have said different so who I do believe do I do the 52 units or do I half it ?

Any advice would be really appreciated thank you.

I think both the DSN and the chemist are saying the same thing, just in different ways.

If you're using a pen or syringe calibrated for 100u/ml, then to get 52u from double strength 200u/ml you need to inject what is marked as 26u.

What are you injecting with?

I’m injecting with the pen , the dsn has told me as I was on a total of 60 units lantus , to inject 52 of tresiba but as it’s doubled strength I feel that is to much it’s just confusing me .
The dsn has said its the volume of insulin that goes in is less so it’s better for the skin to absorb so I have the same amount of insulin just in a smaller volume and the chemist is saying no 52 will give you double which I thought . So to be fair there just confused me and I’m not to sure what to inject tomorrow morning .
