SO HOW DOES THIS EVEN MAKE SENSE. No one I know cuts back that much switching from two different basals. And, the fact is Levemir is STRONGER than Tresiba (obviously...that's why Tresiba lasts so long). Levemir is stronger but doesn't last long enough, Tresiba is not so strong because it lasts so long. So, your post makes very little sense and there is NO PEAK with Tresiba, there can't possible be a peak, it's totally flat. there are a million 'other reasons' ones BGs could be 'peaking'.' I also don't know ANY TYPE 1'S, UNLESS VERY OVERWEIGHT WHOM TAKE 47 UNITS OF BASAL OF ANY KIND.
Any particular reason why not? Many type ones are having great success using his methods.I seriously cannot believe a type 1 would listen to Birenstein.
I started on Tresiba about 10 days ago, after years on 2000mg Metforming and Amaryl 1mg x 2 times.Hi all, I'll be starting on Tresiba today or tomorrow.
not quite sure what you mean? do you mean you want the ability to dose in half unit increments rather than full unit increments? if so ask your team for a Novopen Echo as that has the capability of half units, that's if your on cartridges though, if your on pre filled pens then you'll also need to ask for a switch to the cartridges, I did this a few months ago xxHi. I have been on Tresiba now for 6 months and still getting early morning hypos, on Levermir I had none, I have tried adjusting my dose and was hoping I could get a half dose to stop the hypos but probably not, will just have to take later in the evening - I currently take at 8pm. Also the joy of Tresiba is that you do not split and take one less insulin shot. Apart for the early hypos I think its good for me.
I have a real peak about 7ish hours after taking Tresiba so had to change from evening to am. I don't notice it during the day because it just helps Novo-not-so-rapid do it's jobHi.

Yes that is what I was trying to say. I now have a Novopen Echo but doctors keep forgetting to add the cartridges to my prescription, Hope it is sorted soon.

Hi all, I'll be starting on Tresiba today or tomorrow. It's the first time in years I've had a basal that I only take once a day (I'm currently on 2x Levemir) and I was just wondering for those who are using it as well - does it matter whether I take it in the morning or at night in your experience? I know it's ultra long acting and so it probably shouldn't matter, but I know packet descriptions and peoples' experiences sometimes don't exactly match so I thought I'd ask.
My mornings are much more regular than my evenings, so I'd be able to take it at the same time more easily in the mornings. But I don't know if people are finding it more stable/better if they take it in the evening?
If I miss [rarely] my 7pm dose of slow Tresiba of 24 units, my quick bg numbers shoot up until I inject a much smaller Tresiba at say 2pm. NB can anyone explain why my brother has better A1C control than me, as he ONLY injects Tresiba daily - no quick at all?Hi Levy - I was using Tresiba before the pump, I took my injection in the morning, as you've said it makes no difference when you take it. as it lasts up to 36 hours, even if you miss your dose and then take it later in the day it hardly affects your control
