"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!"

"I was diagnosed with Type 1 on 7/1994, after a few months of the typical symptoms. I was put on Lantus and Novolog to control my blood glucose (BG). Novolog works well. I now use FIASP for faster effects. Lantus had issues. I would 'suddenly' have a BG drop of 50-80 pts. My endo switched me to Basaglar. That is the same insulin. 'Amazingly', I had the same issues. He switched me to Levemir. That seemed to work better, until it didn't. Same issue, sudden BG drops. So he switched me back to Basaglar (????). Guess what happened. So, he switched me to ...... Levemir. And, same thing. I realized, based on a LOT of info. I discovered that my endo was an idiot. He refused to listen to ANYTHING I suggested. I went to a new endo. He suggested Tresiba, based on all the info (what you read here) I shared with him. That was 6+ years ago. Not a single issue. GREAT!!!! No, Tresiba will not 'fix' everything. It does what it does very well. TY!!"

"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."

"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."

"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."
