I currently take 20 units of levimir morning and night so have a total of 40 units basal each day. I've just been called to say it is time to make a change from Levimir and have been given the options of TRESIBA VS TROUJEO. Would anybody else have any advise or have made the switch from Levimir already. I have done some research and can see that Tresiba and Troujeo are a once a day type of insulin. I am slightly edging towards Tresiba but if anybody has anymore information to share that would be great before making a decision.
 
Hi @JackLowe123

I can’t help as I’m T2 not on insulin but there’s a thread running that you may find helpful, I’ve linked it below for you so you can take a look

Thread 'What’s everyone planning now that Levemir is going?'

I wanted to start a thread for anyone using Levemir and wondering what happens next.
It looks like it’s being phased out completely, so most of us will need to change our basal insulin soon. (Before end 2026)

A few things worth asking each other:

  • Who here has already spoken to their diabetes team about switching?
  • Which replacement were you offered — Tresiba, Toujeo, or something else? If any?
  • If you’ve already changed, how has your control or hypo pattern been? Answers for Forced change from levemir going only.
  • Did your clinic reduce your dose...
