"My blood glucose had been hard to control for the last 6 months. Then, my endo put me on Tresiba. Wow, the results are amazing. I am mostly in the 100's now, before, I was up in the 300's. I was a bit afraid to start it, but it was so worth it to have blood glucose under control."

"Was on Tresiba in the morning only about a year with great results. For the last couple of months, I have elevated glucose levels at night with fasting highs. I have had diabetes for 53 years, so I am not a newbie! My doctor moved me back to Levemir in the evening, and it is causing nighttime lows and daytime highs. I am considering going back to Tresiba and splitting my dose to twice a day, which he did not suggest, so this is just my idea. It is a once-daily, 24-hour dose. Anyone have any comments about trying this?"

"I have diabetes mellitus. I was originally diagnosed in 2017 with type 2 and was immediately put on metformin and Trulicity (A1C 13, avg. glucose 300-400). I got really ill, went to the Dr., and discovered I was going into DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis). The Dr. immediately started me on this, and within a few days, my numbers dropped!! I have never been in the low 100's in years, and now I am. The first few days were an adjustment, but I'm finally stabilizing. I had to learn to eat correctly and drink lots of water all day. I only take 16 units at night and metformin (ER 500mg 4x a day). I stay around 50 carbs a day total and have small healthy snacks throughout the day. This is a basal-based insulin, which I think my body is reacting to much better than the other. It has had a huge impact on my numbers in such a short amount of time, unlike 2 years on Trulicity which could only get my numbers down to the 200's. For me, this is a great insulin."
