Tresiba night time lows daytime highs? Go back to Lantus?

Hi @airtas! Welcome to the site!

I found that I was having problems with high blood sugars in the morning after about a month on Tresiba. I split my dose (half AM & half PM), and that really, really helped. I’d recommend trying that before switching insulins. If that doesn’t work, then Levemir is a good idea.

I really like how Tresiba lasts for so long though because it’s not an emergency if I forget a shot (especially on the split dose). I like that extra security.

@Eric has a few wiki articles about loading up on carbs after intense workouts. I don’t know as much about this, but he’s mentioned in the past that you can avoid lows after workouts if you replenish your glycogen stores. This may be another way to address this problem.
