Toujeo insulin

Hi Anaisabel, I know it, I shouldn't but it was so firm and safe when commenting, as it was the same but with the longest effect that we don't even say no.
Of course, now at this point I already hope to adjust it, if not, I will change it again, if you do not put the endocrine, because it is not very easy to understand you.
It reassures me to read that most I need some time to adjust it well and even some also needed to increase the units.
We are also considering using a continuous meter and I suppose that will help me avoid those peaks.

@Brendanda I started with Tresiba but because I have decided for Tresiba, in fact my endocrine taught me the 2 bolis (Toujeo and Tresiba) and explained more or less as they worked and that I chose one of the two if it is that "aI was "interested in trying or changing since she with Lantus looked very good.I have decided to try because before an alleged improvement in the insulins, I feel like trying them, if Tresiba does not convince myBetter come to you not to her and if you don't know what you have to do, you send her for c ... and change specialist ..

Brenda If the Lantus was going well for you Toujeo has to go better.

I am using it and the truth is that when you have the tight dose you work very well.It covers you perfectly 24h and I notice it more flat than the lantus.

Anaisabel is right that if you worked well to change but I am convinced that with Toujeo you will be better.

They have improved the Lantus enough.... I was doing well but I had to wear an extra dose at noon of three units to cover me 24h but with toujeo put once at night and ready.Without nocturnal hypoglycemia.

I think that in the long run with the changes to novel medications we improve but it costs a little to adapt and time is needed.With Lantus it cost me to adapt but then I thanked him very much.

Courage and surely the toujeo works better than the Lantus.

Also say that each one is different and if something works well for you to change.I am personally of changes and adapt to the last thing they are taking out.

On the three -year say that it went well but I woke up with high glycemia and downturn before eating.Thing that with Toujeo I lift myself with normal glycemias and worked well all day.My basal is toujeo.

Cheer up.

Sigsauer, I hope my endocrine was like yours, since it passes from the pediatrician to this when I turned 17 we are thinking of changing but we are afraid that we have a worse one.But if we continue, we will do so.
Josep111 that the value of changing so much, I terrorize me to be poorly regulated and pay it in the long run but you see that for so many years you have it super controlled.
I'm already telling you how the thing is going.
All the best

This Thursday I go to the endo.I want to change the lantus for another basal, toujeo or threeiba.Let's see what the doctor offers me.I am currently with Lantus.The problem is the drops at night.I will tell you.

Greetings

I would try the toujeo without hesitation with the same units as with the Lantus.

Night hypoglycemia were finished and perfectly covers 24h.

Hello!I just went to the endo today and I changed the Lantus to the Tresiba.They had also told me about the Toujeo, but he told me that this would make me better.I would like to know your opinions about the two and which ones you like more than the other.;)

I definitely stay with Toujeo and explain my reasons.

Tresiba:

I have been trying it for a while.I started putting it at night (22h) with the problem that sugar lowered before noon food.I changed to put it at 2:30 p.m. and solve the problem.And in principle quite well only in the absence of adjusting the dose a little more because I used to get up with somewhat high glycemia.You have to lower the fast on meals.

Toujeo:

I can't say anything else.I put it at 10:45 p.m. and I cover me all day I notice it more flat than the Lantus and I am very good.Having the dose set goes wonderfully.And I have managed to get up with normal glycemia.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dose for you to have a reference all those who start with these basal ones (more or less later depend on each one):

Tresiba: 4 less than the total of the Lantus.
Toujeo: 1 or 2 more than the total of the Lantus.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He has won toujeo in my case."Tell you that the two basal are successful and this already depends on each one.

I go next week, I was going to change to the Tresiba but I am going to ask for this other, the Lantus does not last 24h or joke!

Hello, I continue with the fatal toujeo, almost a month ago that they changed it, at night I get a lot and I do not know what else to do, I tried to click faster to dinner and it lowers me so much that I arrive at 40 suddenly and it costs meA lot upload it and when it goes up, go up.
I put the Dexcom G4 on Friday and I have verified that the first part of the night is around 300 but with small ups and downs and then the second part of the low but little night.
I also tried dinner very little and the same.
I will call the hospital tomorrow to see the endocrine recommended and if it can be change to the Lantus again.
I am glad that almost everyone is going well but it is driving me at all.

Consult it with your endocrine, at first glance it seems that you lack toujeo but do not change the treatment without asking you first ...
I have been with Tresiba for 10 days and in the end they are all tests, up, dose, lower dose, change 2 hours up, 2 hours down until you give the key ...

All the best

Exact is a matter of finding the right dose.

You will have to raise the dose of the toujeo until you get up with normal glycemia and then adjust the rapid.

You should not cost you much because it works better than the flattest lantus and covers 24h.

For all the clueless there are these two applications in the Play Store of Android very interesting to know if we have put the basal and the rapid.

"Momentum Builder" this one used for the fast since you can put a title to each target and warm on the day of the calendar.

Example:

1- Humalog lunch
2- Humalog food
3- Humalog snack
4- Humalog Cena
5- Humalog before sleeping (correct)

And every time you get the Humalog you enter the objective that corresponds and indicated in the calendar.So you know you have put it on.

I am doing this reminder very well because I am almost never at home and sometimes with the change of schedules.When I get Humalog, I point out the calendar and voila.

"Goal tracracker & inhabitant" This used it for the basal in my case the toujeo.You put the title of the target in my Toujeo case 22 units and the time to remind you here I also have the mobile alarm.You indicate the calendar when you put it on and ready.

I no longer suffer if I have put it on or not ... these applications are going wonderfully so I get the mobile phones that we all have today.

Greetings I hope to see that it may be necessary.

Thank you, that is what I will do, I will call tomorrow and see what they tell me why I climb 4 units and the endocrine in principle I do not advise me to climb more.

Jasom sorry to hear that, although I see that I am not the only one that happens to him, I will talk to the educator tomorrow to see if he happens with the endocrine although the truth is that they are both, they go to theirsThey don't listen to what I tell you ... Anyway ... Let's see if I get something clear.
What is clear is that I have almost this month that I am so soon as I get up to more than 300 something that did not happen to me.
All the best

Let's see if the dose is fixed up

You have to raise the dose of the Toujeo until the morning glutemia are normal.And then adjust the rapid at meals.

As many units as you need, do not take reference the Lantus going up and you will see how well you are doing ... and do not need so much to the endocrine you have to guide you for yourself but you are lost.

You have to have very young patience although I already know what you are happening and it is quite frustrating especially if you come from being well with lantus or less because the change is supposed to be better and you see that it is not only not better but not that all theGlycemia are sorrowful.I say it because I have been with three days with three days and the same thing happened to me, the Lantus had already caught the truquillo and now I am in the middle of adaptation, what we have to take into account is that they are much more concentrated insulins and moreStable so we have to find the perfect dose and especially the perfect time depending on our lifestyle, for example, I notice that with this insulin I need more units of fast than with Lantus, with Lantus the rapid made me more effect.

Anyway, after the sheet the only tell you that patience and encouragement because after years of learning to find the Lantus key now you have to try to find the three-toujeo key and if I do not find the key will always remainBack to the previous one ...

This is not true that you comment under my experience.Let's see I explain:

With threeiba if it is more complex because the changes are reflected every two days and you will need less fast comparing it with the Lantus.It is definitely a totally novel insulin and you have to have a little patience.

With toujeo none of that.It is the concentrated lantus (insulin glargine).Flat and perfectly covers 24h.... you won't need so much adjusting if you come from Lantus.

You put it at night at the same time every day (or the schedule you choose) you start with the total units of Lantus and you increase until you get up with normal morning glutemia and the rapid you will use the same one you used with Lantus in themealsIt is practically the same improved.... if you handled with Lantus well with better toujeo (that sure).

I don't understand those problems you say.... also comment that some sport must be done and eating more or less well.

The toujeo is very successful has no mystery, it is much better than the lantus.

Courage and pay myself first to get this basal.Adjust the dose with respect to morning glycemia and you see how you have glycemia during the day.Do not have and without quickly seeing if you have the tight dose.Insulin is luxurious and adapt quickly with threeiba takes a little longer.
