We don't often change apart from school holidays and if needing an increase. I find that Lantus also takes 3 days to see any change when increasing doses but if reducing lantus then the change Happens straight away, so would you say tresiba works the same in that aspect or when you reduce tresiba it it also takes 3 days?I recently changed to Tresiba (April maybe), I've found that I don't get lows at about 3am anymore which is definitely good (that's the main reason I wanted to change) - yes a little more inflexible but then I didn't often change mine anyways, the only times I really need to is when its too stinking hot (like the last few days).
thank you but what do you mean by lantus lows? That drag?I've not switched, but am looking to soon. The way I see it:
Tresiba is more stable than Lantus, so get steadier levels for the day.
It lasts longer, so is more effective on 1 injection a day than Lantus.
However as it lasts longer, it takes more days for changes to stabalise, so if exercise changes drastically day to day it may not be ideal.
You cannot get 'Lantus lows' using Tresiba.
I can use the same pens as my Fiasp (Novopen echo) so easier for carrying around and spares etc (This is obvs personal to me)
Then there's the long standing concern regarding Lantus and causing cancer (although this is unproven as far as I know).

I never knew this thank you xIts rare, but it does happen as it has with me and others on here (was probably the scariest moment of my diabetic journey). If Lantus hits a blood vessel, it can act as fast acting and cause sever hypoglyceamia. For example if you take 15 units, all this can act as fast acting, causing severe lows. This is unique to Lantus in how it works, it does not occur with other long lasting insulin like Tresiba.
Hello, they say that when you change tresiba dose is to give it 4 days to settle.Hi can I ask you all when reducing tresiba how long do you find it takes to effect your glucose levels x
I've recently switched, per my Endo's recommendations, from Levemir to Tresiba and honestly am having a horrible time with this. It stays in the system 36 hours so the titrating up and down seems to take forever to take effect, too. I'm going really high with meals, too....so I'm not sure I'm not taking enough of it has some effect on my bolus novolog. So far, this stuff sucks...just saying. But I had a lot of hypos on levemir, I'm very small petite and very insulin sensitive so my Endo demands I take this, at least give it a good try as it's supposed to not cause as many hypos, especially compared to Lantus.hi can anyone tell me how they have found the change to Tresiba from lantus. I hear it’s a lot more steady and less sting. I’m also interested to know about the flexibility side of things when making adjustments as I know it tends to last longer than lantus. Thank you

Do you have any evidence to support this view?this is an untrue statement

I was getting really bad muscle aches, sometimes so bad they were stopping me eating. I also found that Lantus would peak about 4 hours after I took it -
The DN changed me to Tresiba because of the hypo problems on Lantus and within a week all my muscle problems vanished too. It turns out it is an uncommon side effect of Lantus.
Muscle pain with lantus or tresiba? I am on tresiba since nearly 2 yr. I am having muscle ache with tresiba.I had muscle pains too. Wouldn't mind betting it's more common than the 1/10,000 people that the manufacturers claim.
