Is Lantus Better Than Toujeo For A Type 1 Diabetic?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Nettie, WV

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 ?

as a T1D I prefer Toujero as it take far less of it to control my glucose levels - for me Lantus takes 3 times the amount to get the same result and it doesn't last in my system the full 24 hours it… read more

Lantus Vs The Other Long Lasting Insulins

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm on Lantus-20 units at night, Trulicity .75, and Novolog sliding scale. My insurance will no longer pay for Lantus. The alternates are Basaglar, Levemir, and Tresiba. Which one is the best? I hear there is a trial going on for a weekly long lasting insulin. Any thoughts?

Is Anyone Using Toujeo Insulin

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Johannesburg, ZA

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

I switched from Lantus to Toujeo at the start of this year. It's just double strength and long-lasting Lantus so, in my case, I was able to reduce my injections from two to one a day. My one morning… read more

Who Takes Toujeo?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Los Angeles, CA

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.
