Tresiba

[SteveOsborne]

So so happy. Left my diabetes nurse last week with this new tresiba insulin. What a joy. My only concern is that it says it should only be used for over 18s. I'm 30 years old so don't think I'm crazy the thing is my son is T1 too but he is only just turned 3years old. Is any other parent or any one else is this similar situation? It seems logical to change to this but don't know what the precautions are for him being under 18

As always, it is strongly suggested that you discuss medication changes with your doctor.
