[QUOTE="oldgreymare, post: 2333967, member: 20373"] At the advice of my endo I switched from twice daily Levemir to once daily Tresiba as my basal insulin. But the prescribing GP did not provide any guidance as to how to transition... I also used slightly lower Tresiba doses to start with, but stopped all Levemir immediately - in hindsight a mistake - got hit with very high BGs, borderline DKA symptoms for several days - I guess due to Tresiba levels still stabilising after all Levemir used up? Now using Tresiba for a once a day am shot at 80% of previous Levemir dose - but obviously you need to calibrate this for you. Give it a few weeks to decide whether this works for you. [/QUOTE]
