[QUOTE="Amandast, post: 595385, member: 64155"] My doctor has just prescribed the new insulin Degludec (Tresiba), changing me from Lantus, as my diabetes control has suddenly gone haywire, and my Hba1c has gone up. I've been diabetic since 1975, and amazingly have had good control up until now (bar a while in my teenage years no doubt). My Lantus dose has increased by 18 units over the last year, as has my Apidra, but I just couldn't get it balanced, which is unusual for me. I would welcome comments from anyone who has changed from Lantus to Degludec, and also dosage comparison. I am currently taking 38 units of Lantus, and my GP has suggested taking 30 units of Lantus, but I'm wondering if this is still too high, seeing that it has a 40 hour duration time. I am also a little concerned about possible night time hypos, as Degludec supposedly limits night time highs, as it works for longer. [/QUOTE]
