Typical dosage for Toujeo

Your prescriber will work with you to find the dose that's best for you. Your dose depends on many things. This includes if you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and what your blood sugar levels are like.

  • If you're starting insulin for the first time

    • Type 1 diabetes: Your prescriber will use your total daily insulin (TDI) requirement to find the dose for you. The typical starting dose is about 30% to 50% of your TDI requirement. Inject Toujeo under the skin once per day.
    • Type 2 diabetes: Your prescriber will calculate your starting dose based on your body weight. The typical starting dose is 0.2 units/kg (or up to 10 units) each day. Inject Toujeo under the skin once per day.
  • If you're already taking insulin for either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes

    • Previously taking long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin once per day: The typical starting dose of Toujeo is the same total daily dose of the long-acting insulin you were taking before. Inject Toujeo under the skin once per day.
    • Previously taking long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin twice per day: The typical starting dose of Toujeo is 80% of the total daily dose of the long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin you were taking before. Inject Toujeo under the skin once per day.

Your care team will adjust your dose depending on your blood sugar levels.
