Hi

I am pretty certainn I have given 2 doses of tresiba. Thought I hadn't had my 18 unit dose so gave it again. It was only after I'd done it that I felt I had actually given my dose earlier.
Please can u advise.
Many thanks.

You will probably find your QA insulin will respond stronger than usual when you take your usual meal ratios or correctional doses. You may also find that you slowly drop as the day goes by, so monitoring your BGs every hour or two should be about right for preventing a hypo; maybe more often depending on how aggressive the drop is. See how you go?

I've done stuff like this before but it was with Levemir. Easily done and thank gawd the dose runs out eventually. Take care, and stay safe.

Thanks for your reply Jay Bee. I know the problems will occur during the night so will need to be vigilant until bedtime.
