Frequently asked questions FOR Tresiba 100IU Solution for Injection

Insulin Degludec

Q. What is Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each)?
Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) is an ultra long-acting type of insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children (as young as 1 year of age) with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) works like the insulin that is normally produced by the body and helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy production. Also, it stops the liver from producing more sugar and this helps to normalize the blood sugar levels.
Q. How is Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) administered?
Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) is injected just below the skin (subcutaneously). Your doctor will train you on the correct method and the areas (abdomen or stomach, thighs, arms, hips or buttocks) where you should inject it. It is advised that the site of injection should be changed within the chosen area of skin, for every dose. For example, if you have been advised to inject it into the skin of your stomach, avoid puncturing the same point on your stomach every day. Rather, inject the needle at a site that is slightly away, say around 1cm, from the previous injection. You can also consider switching sides while injecting, like choosing the right side on one day and the left side on the next day. This way, you can reduce the complications associated with repeated injections in the same site such as thickening of the fat tissue below the skin known as lipodystrophy, irritation, pain etc. After one to two weeks, you should move to another area of your body (eg. from the stomach to the arms or thighs) as advised by your doctor. Consult your doctor if you face any problems while injecting Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each).

Q. Is Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) basal insulin?
Yes, Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) is basal insulin. There are three types of basal insulin currently available: Glargine, Detemir and Degludec. The pharmacies sell these under different brand names. Basal insulin is a slow-acting type of insulin. People take it between mealtimes and before bedtime to control blood sugar outside of eating.
Q. How does basal insulin work?
Long-acting insulins are also called basal or background insulins. They keep working in the background to keep your blood sugar under control throughout your daily routine. They’re absorbed into your body over a 24-hour period. Therefore, they keep blood sugar levels lowered for longer than short-acting insulins do.
Q. Can Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) cause weight gain?
Yes, Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) may cause weight gain in some patients. This may be due to the anabolic effect of insulin which promotes the storage of glucose and fat.
Q. Can Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) raise your blood sugar?
No, Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) by itself does not raise your blood sugar. However, if you stop taking Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each), miss a dose or take a dose lower than what is prescribed, your blood sugar levels may rise. Furthermore, if the person has any other condition along with diabetes, especially infections, stress, irregular meals or reduced activity levels, it may also lead to high blood sugar levels. As a result, their requirement for Tresiba 100 Units/ml Penfill (3ml Each) may increase further. Consult your doctor to know about any dose changes if you have been facing any of these issues or if your blood sugar levels are not controlled.
