tresiba

Hi, I really want to get better control of my blood sugars and would love some advice. I am type 1 diabetic and my Hba1c is at 72, I am trying to sort out an appointment with a diabetes team since I haven't heard anything since COVID started, so I thought I would come on here. I'm struggling...

I recently changed my insulin from Levimir to Tresiba and have been annoyed that my fast-acting insulin case is the same as my long-term one. I see this as an opportunity to get a pen that I can design with something I like, but I can't find anything, does this sort of thing exist?

Hi there, before I start with the symptoms I thought it would be beneficial to put a bit of background. I’m female, 22 and was diagnosed type 1 diabetic 4 years ago when I was 18 after going into ketoacidosis. I have the freestyle libre and Miao Miao, novorapid and tresiba. I have been to my...

At my last hospital checkup my hba1c was 5.6, the best I've ever had but my doc. suggested I tried moving from Lantus to Tresiba. I've not been on Tresiba for long but so far I have no control. Blood sugars jumping high to low and it's making me feel so down & frustrated! Has anybody else...

Our 11yr old Boy was diagnosed on Dec 18th 2018. The last 3 months have been crazy, stressful, upsetting but also totally amazing seeing how he has coped with it all. All was going really well until he started getting stomach cramps all day everyday. The DSN put it down to Anxiety which he has...

Hi Everyone, Thought I'd do a quick update (mainly because there's not a lot of information "out there" for Degludec) for anyone using or thinking of going onto Tresiba Degludec. I've now been on Tresiba for over 6 months, I was previously using Lantus which I came off as a result of it being...

Evening Everyone, Can anybody give me a definitive answer to my question, i've tried the "experts" the local NHS diabetes specialists but they don't understand my question, let alone answer it. Here we go. 1. TRESIBA lasts for 48hrs, it's not adjustable on a daily basis, takes three days to...

Hi everybody, this is my first post on here. Please could anybody share their experience of exercising whilst using tresiba. I have been informed that you can only adjust the dosage of tresiba once a week. How can this work if one day you need to lower your basal dose so you can exercise? I've...

I have been using Lantus for about 8 years, never had any problems and my blood was pretty constant. I take 30units around dinner time and throughout the day / night my blood is around 4.5 / 6. I've had a couple of lows during the evening but nothing major. I have now moved on to Tresiba. I...

@KookyCat and anyone else who has changed from Lantus to Tresiba, please could you let me know how you did it? - eg, did you just have Lantus one day and the same amount of Tresiba the next? Did you have to wait a certain number of hours between the two so they didn't overlap? Did you have to...

Hi everyone, new here please be gentle! I had gestational diabetes 2000 and confirmed type 2 3 months after birth. BG hasn't been controlled well recently and have been moved from lantus to Tresiba just over a week ago. Trouble is my am readings have jumped from 6.1 ish to 15, I spend the whole...
