Hi all, just seen my diabetic nurse and spoke to her about waking up with high bg levels most mornings. She thinks my lantus is running out during the early hours and suggested swapping to Tresiba as it is longer lasting. I just wanted to hear people's experiences of it before I start taking it please
That well may be the case, or it could just be Dawn Phenomenon. In which case it won’t make any difference. The reason for your rise should be established first. Hard to do, but your insulin could be split first with a larger amount being injected in the evening.
Moved from Lantus, because it wasn't lasting 24hours to Tresiba a while ago, it good, you can miss an injection with out having a devastating effect on things because it has a 72 hour window.
The only down side is that it can take a couple of days for any changes made to work into the system.
