How Tresiba® works
Once-daily injection
Tresiba® is taken by injection once a day and is available in a vial or the FlexTouch® pen. Once injected, Tresiba® helps the sugar in your blood get into your cells. Sugar provides your cells with energy needed to fuel your body.
Molecular design
The molecular design of Tresiba® allows it to connect like a string of pearls.
Around-the-clock control
Tresiba® releases slow and steady from the ends of its molecular chain for a full 24 hours of blood sugar control with powerful A1C reductions.
Reasons to ask about Tresiba®
Only Tresiba® allows adults to vary their daily dosing interval by 8 to 40 hours, providing around-the-clock control while still maintaining blood sugar control. While taking your insulin at the same time every day is recommended, if you miss or delay your Tresiba® dose, simply take it as soon as you can, then return to your normal dosing schedule. Just be sure to leave at least 8 hours between doses.

What to know about low blood sugar
The goal of any diabetes treatment is to lower blood sugar. However, it is possible for your blood sugar to drop too low. Ask your health care provider what blood sugar level is considered low for you.
If you are taking insulin, you should know the symptoms of low blood sugar (also called hypoglycemia):
- Sweaty
- Hungry
- Confused
- Shaky
- Lightheaded
- Dizzy
- Sleepy
- Nervous
Learn more about hypoglycemia with this downloadable fact sheet.
These are not all the possible symptoms of low blood sugar. Talk to your health care provider to get a complete list of symptoms.
Severe low blood sugar
If these symptoms go untreated, low blood sugar can become severe. People having a severe low blood sugar episode (or severe hypoglycemia) may require assistance from another person for recovery. Severe low blood sugar may lead to seizures and loss of consciousness.
Tresiba® was studied for safety
In a large safety study vs Lantus® in adults with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, Tresiba® did not increase their risk of major cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, or death.
Tresiba® also had a lower rate of severe low blood sugar, a possible serious side effect of insulin.
