I am an insulin dependent diabetic. 50 U of Levemir in the AM, 39 at HS. I am about out of Levemir and am Allergic to Lantus. Dr is considering Trejoho (sp?) What's the likelihood of being allergic to it? I am terrified to change,
It's understandable to feel anxious about changing insulin medications, especially with a history of allergic reactions. While it's impossible to predict individual allergic responses to new medications, your healthcare provider will carefully monitor your transition to the new insulin.

@A DiabetesTeam Member Toujeo is a "synthetic" insulin just like Lantus so depends what it is that you are allergic to
You could always ask your Doc about the Human Recumbent Insulins Humulin N or Novolin N - these are 99.8% real human insulin so nothing to be allergic to unless it's that 0.2% preservative
These are the closest you will find to "generic" insulins, they are less expensive then the synthetics but a little less protection built in if you give yourself a slight overdose - the synthetics give you a little protection against a dosing "oops" within reason, the (naturals) are not forgiving like that which is why the newer recipes are more often prescribed
