[QUOTE="JMK1954, post: 1982570, member: 352098"] Well, as Toujeo is not supposed to have a peak of activity as far as I can make out, that's interesting, Evilclive. My problem with Toujeo was that I was told to start on 5 units a day. Every time I upped the number of units, my waking level rose. As soon as I took my usual fast-acting and ate, it dropped like a stone. Any exercise made it drop it even faster, so it became a problem to get to the shops/ library/doctors, as that involved a walk to the bus stop, a wait for the bus, and a walk at the other end. By that that time my BS was down to the normal range , having woken at 17mml with the extra unit of Toujeo that the DSN insisted I take. Before I was ready to head back home, I was dramatically hypo. Crunched the usual Glocotabs and sat down. Still hypo ten minutes later and 15 mins later. By twenty minutes later, BS was rising again but never stopped. Before my next meal it would be back at 12 or 14 mml. The DSN kept telling me that my BS was still around 11 mml at night because the Toujeo was running out. But the point about Toujeo is that it lasts more than 24 hrs. She had persuaded me that I could take the Toujeo earlier than my previous basal as it would keep my BS level all right and the still active fast-acting from my evening meal would not matter. I believed her. To see what happened, I deliberately stayed up an extra 2 hours without taking the Toujeo. My BS fell from 11 mml to 7mml in an hour and a half. This showed the Toujeo was driving my BS up. Then I took the Toujeo and I was back at 13mml by morning. [/QUOTE]
