Tresiba (insulin degludec) "Been a diabetic type 1 for 22 years. Been on lispro my whole life with average a1c of 6.8. My endocrinologist has recommended tresiba and novo instead. So far I'm finding it to be great for stabilization on blood sugars and I've been exercising and working construction so far I'm loving it."

"I have been on Tresiba about 6 to 7 months and have gained about 10 pounds. Mostly in my gut area, love handles and biceps. I have keep my weight in good range by running 5 days a week, but now I am starting to look and feel bloated all the time. I do like the fact that I am not profusely sweating like Lantus did to me. What is a diabetic to do? I can't lower the basal any more I take about 10 to 11 units and use 2 doses. I take 7 units in morning and 3 to 4 units at 8:30 PM"

Tresiba (insulin degludec) "I've been on TRESIBA for 4 weeks and my averages on my meter show a steady reduction in glucose levels. I feel stronger and have much better energy. I wake up with normal blood sugar levels for the first time in years. Very happy I asked my doctor to make the change!"
