For Type 2 Diabetes "I have taken Toujeo for 1 1/2 years now. I have broken out with a rash and itching over my entire body for the past three months. I told my doctor, and he said that can't happen with insulin. I've been to three doctors, and they all tell me the same. I stopped taking Toujeo. The rash is starting to clear, but it is slow in clearing. There is nothing that helps."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I started this medicine a year ago. I take 15 units before bed plus 2 Metformin pills a day. At first, I was getting fantastic results. Waking blood sugar every morning was under 100 and no side effects. Now, a year later, I have an itchy, scaly rash on my right side that will not go away, waking blood sugars are all over the place, ranging from the 180's to the 280's, blurry vision, and tiredness. I've had no changes in diet or exercise, and I'm not overweight. It's as if the drug just stopped working altogether. I am requesting my doctor take me off this and try something else."

For Type 2 Diabetes "Have been on Toujeo for over 2 years, taking 80 units at bedtime. Like the other reviewer, djricci, the Toujeo has caused a rash to break out all over my body, especially on the lower legs and scalp. The overall constant itching is driving me nuts. Results have been so-so, I am lucky if sugar is below 200 in the AM. Have also experienced some of the side effects others have noted (blurry vision, weight gain, dizziness)."
