Is there a reason you don't want to just lower your lantus dose?Just been advised by my Diabetes Consultant to switch from 34 units of Lantus to 30 of Toujeo to help reduce low blood sugars in morning.Does anyone have any experience of using Lantus then switching to Toujeo?
Is there a reason you don't want to just lower your lantus dose?
I've had levermir, insulatard in pregnancy then a mixed humulin but toujeo300 is turning out very very good for my bgs and I'm obese so helping with losing weight too. Today I've had steady 5s.Been advised that Toujeo gives better control than Lantus.Also, I occasionally forget my night time Lantus and my consultant says that Toujeo lasts for 30 hours therefore would be better if I forgot my night time injection?
I've had a bit somogyi effect through my night sleep on toujeo300. On reducing dose it has stopped.Toujeo has been shown to have less variable absorption over its lifetime in the body than Lantus, and in clinical trials was shown to cause fewer nocturnal hypos, so in that sense, your consultant is correct, and that's why they are recommending you change to it.
Mine neither. I have to currently take 10units of insulin with my coffee with my only calcium; milk. Then breakfast with 15units after school drop.I swapped a year ago. Like the fact that I don't have to do two injections with it. However, it hasn't stopped my morning rises unfortunately.
