[QUOTE="Streather \m/, post: 2151670, member: 515547"] Now that I've worked out the posting issues i was having last night.., Has anyone else here had serious problems with the lantus/toujeo glargine family of basal insulin's. I have asked repeatedly to be changed to tresiba as the lantus was exhausting itself within 8 hours of injecting, giving me massive, continuous hypos and not being active the remainder of the 24 hour period, leaving me with massive spikes over a prolonged period that has seriously effected my health. these spikes have always been put down to me not controlling my db properly, which i endeavor to do at (most) times. i was switched to toujeo after researching and finding the problem occurs in a small amount of skinny t1 dbs with lantus although it took 6 different db nurses to listen to me. after reading a forum on this issue it now appears that the issue is with the glargine insulin's requiring to be injected into subcutaneous fat in order to make it long acting, which i mentioned i have not got. I could rant forever on this subject as it has been an inspiration for my rage for months now. anyone else that has experienced these issues, i would be very interested to talk to and hear about their problems/solutions. i intend to go back to my db nurse and reeducate them on this dangerous lack of knowledge and understanding. Lastly, after the first series of db nurses that didn't listen and questioned my sanity, the one that finally listened knew about the issue, although they did not know the reasons as to why it effected skinny t1s. Knowledge is power people, keep the sharing up this site is my new favorite resource, Bless you all :) [/QUOTE]
