Know How Tresiba Compares to Other Basal Insulins for Type 2 Diabetes
Tresiba (treh-SEE-bah, insulin degludec) is the newest long-acting basal insulin...after Levemir (detemir), Lantus and Basaglar (glargine 100 units/mL), and Toujeo (glargine 300 units/mL).
Tresiba lasts about 42 hours...compared to about 24 hours for Levemir, Lantus, or Basaglar...and over 24 hours for Toujeo.
But this doesn't mean that Tresiba works better than the others.
