I have been on Lantus for several years now. My Health Insurance decided as of 1/1/23 Lantus will no longer be covered. Anthem suggested Basaglar, Levemir, Toujeo, or Tresiba. Are any of you on these, any pros or cons of each? It is always something.
I am on Humalog for Quick Acting (as far as I know, this is still covered)
Thanks
@A DiabetesTeam Member Appreciate the info!
Is anyone experiencing high morning bs # after taking Levemir at bedtime, and experiencing weight gain??
Since I've been on levimir I've gained weight, had itching and muscle pain in my legs.Has anyone else experienced this?
Good Idea!
Since Friday I've been on a very strict diabetic diet, following everything dr said to do as my Fasting sugar A1C was 321. Since I've been very strict my sugars are down in the 100's but I had one before supper tonight at 88. That was before my Novolog injection before supper. Two hours after eating it was 125. Great numbers for me but now I'm afraid if I take my slow acting Levemir tonight (80 units) it'll drop too low and I won't know it. any suggestions?
I just switched from Levemir and Novorapid to Basalgar and Apidra. Much cheaper and seems to control my sugars more efficiently. Has anybody else switched insulins lately?

Got put on this since Medicaid stopped covering Levemir. Has anyone noticed their levels not staying controlled as before? Mine seem higher or lower and not as on target as before and my neuropathy has worsened. Just curious.
Yes it's really an Medicaid covers it an you only got to take it once a day
