WHAT TRESIBA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Tresiba is a long-acting basal insulin called insulin degludec. It is
used to treat diabetes mellitus in
adults, adolescents and children aged 1 year and above. Tresiba helps
your body reduce your blood
sugar level. It is used for once-daily dosing. On occasions when you
cannot follow your regular dosing
schedule, you can change the time of dosing because Tresiba has a long
blood sugar-lowering effect
(see section 3 for ‘Flexibility in dosing time’). Tresiba can be
used with meal-related rapid-acting
insulin products. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, Tresiba may be used in
combination with tablets for
diabetes or with injectable antidiabetic medicines, other than
insulin.
In type 1 diabetes mellitus, Tresiba must always be used in
combination with meal-related rapid-acting
insulin medicines.
