Insulin degludec "I am a type 1 diabetic since 1969. Used Levemir as my basal insulin for the past 4 years, then recently switched to Tresiba with very favorable results. My evening (sleep) readings (Dexcom G-7) were much more consistent (level). Just had my 6-month checkup and A1c was at 6.3, a lifetime best. Now having difficulty getting Tresiba through CVS Caremark via Aetna PDP, so my endo doctor switched me over to Basaglar until I can find a new Tresiba supplier."

Insulin degludec "I'm very happy with Tresiba, my blood glucose is okay again. I'm 42 years old, have had diabetes since I was 14. Before Tresiba, for a long period of time, 18 years, I used Lantus. In the last couple of years, it was very hard for me to keep a balanced blood sugar level. Since I switched to Tresiba, I am okay again, blood sugar balanced and normal, without unexplainable high levels. My Tresiba dosage is a lot less than Lantus was, I adapted it by measuring the blood glucose. It took me no more than a week to stabilize the dose, and I feel better since I started using it. I'm very satisfied with Tresiba."

Insulin degludec "I've been a diabetic type 1 for 22 years. I've been on lispro my whole life with an average A1C of 6.8. My endocrinologist has recommended Tresiba and Novo instead. So far, I'm finding it to be great for stabilization of blood sugars, and I've been exercising and working construction. So far, I'm loving it."

"I have been on Tresiba for about 6 to 7 months and have gained about 10 pounds, mostly in my gut area, love handles, and biceps. I have kept my weight in a 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 anymore. I take about 10 to 11 units and use 2 doses. I take 7 units in the morning and 3 to 4 units at 8:30 PM."

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!"
