Hi.
Is anyone here using Toujeo long acting insulin?
Back in August last year one of the GP doctors (that specialises in diabetes) that I saw changed my long acting insulin from Lantus to Toujeo. He said it would give me a better 'profile' and said doctors don't really like to prescribe it as it's more expensive than the 'other stuff'.
When I first started taking it I did have one really weird night time hypo/dream (I did mean to post about it on here back then - but then forgot). But since then I haven't experienced the same again.
I'm not sure if it has improved my night time bloods, but one thing for sure is that the pen/injection method feels a lot smoother than the Lantus used to.
So back to the original question. Is anyone else on this insulin and what it any was the doctors reason for prescribing this one over the other 'cheaper' insulins?
