[QUOTE="Eponym, post: 379725, member: 69632"] I'm a type 1 diabetic living in Cardiff in South Wales and was originally on Lantus and NovoRapid and used to suffer from scary night time hypos all too often. About a month ago I replced the Lantus with Tresiba (Degludec) and I think it's great. It's very stable and my waking blood glucose results are always within 1 unit of my bedtime blood glucose results. My last night time hypo (2 weeks before being prescribed Tresiba) involved an ambulance and two paramedics parked up at my house for 90 minutes whilst they brought me round and stabilized me. I think that the SMC are being very short sighted, the advantages of this new insulin are many and span economic and life quality matters. The stability of this insulin has meant that I've not suffered one night time hypo since transferring to it indicating that I'm less likely to result in costly emergency calls. I feel less scared going to bed, which results in a tighter blood glucose management. This, I hope, will allow me to lead a healthier life with fewer costly diabetic related complications. Of course, Tresiba won't be right for everyone but for many of us it's the answer. How unfair of the SMC to play God. [/QUOTE]
