Been on tresiba for 3 days awful awful bloods have been higher than ever the nurse said on Friday if I don't like tresbia I can switch back to levimir but try twice a day instead.

So now its Sunday and I wanna take my levimir tonight im concerned how because degludec tresiba lasts 42 hours. Took 20 thursday friday 22 Saturday 24.

I rang 111 got put through to out of hours doctor who said my ketone are normal no fever etc speak to diabetes nurse monday.

I just want to know will it be OK to take levimir tonight my normal dose or will the degludec interfere with it. I cannot take another dose of that awful stuff

@Damonite I’m T2 diet controlled so can offer no advice but I’ve tagged some T1s, such as @Jaylee, @porl69, @Robinredbreast, @hh1 and @EllieM who may be able to help.
 
Hi. Are you also on a meal time 'Bolus' insulin'. You don't mention that. If you are on a Bolus make sure you are carb-counting it. If not on a Bolus insulin, insist the surgery adds that as NICE says all T1s should be on the Basal/Bolus insulin regime (Google it)

I found it took a week to settle when I changed to Tresiba, settle but not be right as that took a few months, worth working at as it's the best basal insulin.
 
I havent used Tresiba for over a year now due to pumping BUT I did find it took a while to get used to it and into my system. I did find it a much better insulin than Levemir due to the flatter profile of it
Sorry for the late reply
