I have been a type 2 diabetic for over 13 years now and my sugar levels were really out of control last year with my A1C level being at 13 and my fasting glucose was 326. I started taking Tujeo with combination of 1000mg of metformin twice daily and my fasting sugar levels dropped within a couple of days. My Dr started me out at 5 units/ day and it was too low of a dose. I'm at 24 and my fasting ...

Insurance made me switch from Lantus to Toujeo, my 1st pen had almost no effect,so I switched to another pen and after increasing my dose from 30 to 40 uinits it was much better. I retried the 1st pen after the 2nd pen ran out and experienced the same uneffectiveness,tried a 3rd pen with the same lot number and again poor effectiveness. I contacted corporate of the issue with no satisfaction.

I've been on insulin for 28 years my sugar has been great on lantus I started this for a little over a week made me sick also sugar was extremely high like it wasn't working the only reason trying is because insurance doesn't want to cover lantus so now I have to pay for it ..please be careful using this insulin..

I've been taking this medication for 3 years now and it seems to me my experience is that some of the pens have a higher concentration of insulin than others and some of the pens have a lower concentrations of insulin. I haven't changed my dietary input all that much over the last 3 years. I would say overall this drug is inconsistent in it's treatment of blood sugar.

My blood sugars are not responding to this medication... so I thought. I ran out of needles for my solostar so I had to use a syringe. I dialed up 30 units and pushed the plunger. When I was done pushing the insulin i looked at the syringe it only had 10 units in it. I then dialed up another 30 units and pushed it into the syringe I was at 20 units. So I had to dial up a total of 60 units to get my 30 units of insulin. My sugars did great that day. If I could give this 0 stars I would!!

Started taking March 2018. Blood sugar over 300, A1C 15. Started with 26 units/day and saw immediate lower sugar levels. Titrated up to 36 units/day to reach goal sugar levels. No side effects at all, other than lower blood sugar. Doing intermittent fasting now and have been able to lower units down to 12 units/day. Have not had to pay for prescription yet with manufacturers discount card. With my insurance it will be $50 when discount runs out, but hopefully I will not need to take it anymore when I get to that point. Read More Read Less

I started on this drug in December 2016. I take 15 units a night and 1000 mg of Metformin 2 times a day. At first, the effects were fantastic. I went from waking BS at over 300 to below 100 every day. Now, a year later, this medication doesn't work at all. My BS are over 200 and into the 300 every morning. It's like I haven't even taken the injection. I have had no changes in diet or exercise. I am not over weight, never have been. I have gained 10 pounds since I started using this drug and I am bloated all the time. I am going to request a change with my doctor. Read More Read Less

Since starting Toujeo, I have developed rapid heart beat, blurred vision, and weight gain. It has not helped my blood sugar readings at all even though my doctor increased the dosage. I'm very disappointed in this drug. I will ask my doctor to try a different one.

My doctor changes me from Lantus to Toujeo. In one week, my fasting sugars went from 140-160 to over 300 with no change in diet and exercise routine. I even accidentally double dosed one night and my readings never came down below 250. Going back to Lantus and uping the dose from 100 units to 120 units to see if that's going to work. Very disappointed with the Toujeo.

I have taken 20units a day for 3 months. I have walked twice a day and eaten all healthy whole foods. No change in my a1c. Waste of money.

I have been injecting for just over a month and a Half. I have had frequent leg cramps at night. Multivitamin seems to help with that.

This works great! Best of all, I get much more than 24 hours out of it so, if I get busy and am late taking it, it's ok. Now... I used to take 200 units of Lantus and it took 450 daily units of tougeo to get me back into the 80-90 range, but remember those numbers are "fake". It only delivers one drop for every three clicks. So, 450 units is REALLY 150. At any rate.. I use an entire pen each day and break that up into a shot in each leg and each arm to keep the amount of each shot reasonable.
