[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1803707, member: 453103"] I found Tresiba only gave me consistent 24-hour coverage if I split the dose. However, it isn't easy to do without significant overlap causing hypos. Have you tried Levemir? I find it a more useful basal for a type 1, especially coming from a pump perspective (I used a pump for 11 years and now when I feel like it). It lasts 12-14 hours on small doses, so it's perfect for splitting without overlap. It's also very responsive to small changes in doses which makes it closer to pump basal. For example, on days I know I will be stressed from work or sedentary, I can take more in the morning. Tresiba can't be adjusted this way since its ultra long profile means dose changes will be seen possibly days later. If your basal needs are consistent every day, I guess this is fine, but I doubt that's the case for most type 1s. [/QUOTE]
