TRESIBA

Hi,
I usually take my tresiba at 7:30am but this morning I forgot and have just taken it now 10:35am ~ will this be ok?

Yeah perfectly fine, as it's so long lasting there's wiggle room for taking it and with only being 3 hours late it shouldn't make a difference in your BG xx

Yes. You may find your numbers are a bit ‘off’ over the next few days as the tail is quite long so you may go high for the period when you have less tresiba on board and then low as you double up a bit after you take tomorrow’s dose so just keep en extra eye on your numbers for the next 3 days but it won’t drastically change things.

Hi,

That's the main reason I went for the Tresiba, totally flexible. As long as the dose isn't delayed until next day, it's designed to accommodate varied timings. I've forgotten mine once, took it 12 hours later, no problem (no effects later either), as long as you remember to take your next daily dose at the usual time. No two doses should be taken within 8 hours of each other. See link below.

It's different for kids though, they are recommended to take tresiba at about the same time every day.
