[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1438768, member: 211504"] It is literally the same molecule (insulin glargine) just at a higher concentration. I'm not making that up. I pulled it straight from their website. [URL]https://www.lantus.com/hcp/insulin-treatment-options[/URL] The test study results were nearly identical, the molecule is the same, positive anecdotal evidence is weak at best, and their patent conveniently expired around the same time Toujeo was introduced. If you read any of my posts, you'll see that I make a habit of not making empty statements and do my best to support every claim I make. It's not a fact, I never said it was....it's a well-supported opinion. As far as Tresiba being the "best" insulin. If I said that then that was a mistake. What I believe I said was that it is a "superior" insulin which is different. Either way, that's strictly an opinion as it's not quantifiable. I had a 5.4% a1c on Levemir and I have a 5.4% a1c on Tresiba so I'm the first one to admit that other insulins work just fine. It's generally understood that none of us are healthcare professionals, myself included. Consequently, my opinions are only intended as a fellow diabetic. Note: I'm in the USA which allows me to have a certain level of choice when it comes to my insulin therapy. A lot of this comes from doing my own research before deciding what is best for me (which isn't necessarily best for everyone else). [/QUOTE]
