No, you should not automatically use the same number of units when switching from Humulin L to Toujeo. Toujeo is an ultra long-acting insulin that works differently than other insulins, lasting about 36 hours or longer. The dosing needs to be specifically calculated for your situation by your healthcare provider. When changing insulin types, it's essential to work closely with your doctor to calculate the proper doses and set up an appropriate schedule. They will help adjust the dosage over time to maximize effectiveness and ensure your safety. Remember to rotate injection sites to prevent small lumps from forming under the skin that could affect how the insulin is absorbed.
