Insulin Tresiba is a long-acting analogue of human insulin (degludec). The balance of the drug in the body, such a constant state when the drug is maintained at about one level appears after 2-3 days of using the drug once a day. However, the onset of action occurs immediately after the administration of the drug. Insulin works in such a way that tiny parts of the administered dose (so-called insulin monomers) are slowly released from the subcutaneous tissue, which causes a slow and continuous delivery of insulin degludec into the bloodstream. Sugar levels depend on many factors. With the right dosage of the drug should not be high. Much also depends on the patient's condition and type of diabetes, because Tresiba insulin (so-called base insulin) is used in people with type 2 diabetes alone or in combination with other antidiabetic drugs or fast-acting insulin and in type 1 diabetes the drug is used in combination with short-acting insulin (so-called intraprandial insulin). When changing insulin, it is worth monitoring the sugar level more often and in the case of high results, modify the dosage of the drug as prescribed by the doctor.
