I was changed to toujeo about 3weeks ago. I take it at night but throughout the night my sugar starts going up. Should it be changed back to lantus? I'm a type 1 and have a dexcom which has been great so far. What is a good recommendation ?
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??
Then that makes sense. If you have just started the Humulin it may take a bit of tweaking to finalize how many units you will need.
I've taken Lantus solostar for a long time and to keep it short I had Toujeo refilled instead, I've taken it before, but I am on 26u of lantus and toujeo says it's 3 times more powerful but I don't remember being it that way, this morning I shot 26 like lantus, we'll see what it says in the morning.
I’m not certain about where you live but in my area if one drug helps better your doctor can request in writing the insurance company and request the better med for you. Worth a try.
Well, my Dr. increased Toujeo insulin to 80 units. I take this 2 hrs after meal. Is there a grace period after eating?
I'm finding it difficult to test blood sugar when out for dinner. If I eat at 6pm, I might not get home within 2 hours.
Please explain meal time doeses. Not there yet but I'm proactive.
Thank you. I love this site.
I was wondering if there was an Insulin that like Lantus lasts for 24 hours but also has a peak period unlike Lantus which does not. So does anyone know if there is this type of Insulin and if so please give me the brands and names of any information you may have. Thanks everyone for your help it`s much appreciated.....Nan...xo.
I am on Basaglar and take 52 iu's daily usually with evening meal.
I was on Lantus and Apidra for many years. My Dr changed my insulin to Toujeo and Apidra. I am finding Toujeo less effective and have to take more of it. Has this happened to anyone else. Also am struggling with morning blood sugars which are high no matter what I eat the night before.....Insulin has also resulted in weight gain . Please share if you have any solutions to this problem or know anyhing about Toujeo. Thanks
