Hello @lelebrian Have you done any basal testing to establish if you're on the right Tresiba dose ?
The profile of tresiba is that it lasts approx 36 hours, so it would be worthwhile doing some basal testing first.
I would (and do) take the basal in the morning. Thereby ensuring being at rest when you come to the tail-end of the 24h period till you take the next basal shot in the morning. This also gives you best opportunity to get bg within perfect range (by bits of carbs or bolus) before you go to bed.Yes that is what I am testing first. Trying to increase the dose a bit, and will also try to change the time I inject it.
The point is that everything goes perfect from midnight to 8 PM, while I need extra bolus in the other 4 hours.
Hello, I am going back from insulin pump and testing Tresiba as basal.
After few weeks, I have the impression that it lasts a little bit less than 24 hours, giving me some episodes of high values and ketosis close to the time of the daily injection.
Did anyone experience something similar ? Is anyone testing to have Tresiba every 21 hours or such instead of 24 hours ?
Any help appreciated
Same! Works really well.I would (and do) take the basal in the morning. Thereby ensuring being at rest when you come to the tail-end of the 24h period till you take the next basal shot in the morning. This also gives you best opportunity to get bg within perfect range (by bits of carbs or bolus) before you go to bed.
Basal testing is where you fast for several hours and watch to see what your BG does over that time. If it rises significantly, you need to reduce it. Vice versa if it falls. There’s a good guide here:
