Typical dosage for Tresiba

Your prescriber will work with you to find the dose that works best for you. Your dose depends on many things, such as whether you have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, your blood sugar levels, and your weight. You might need to use a fast-acting insulin along with Tresiba.

Tresiba is available in two different strengths:

  • U-100 (insulin degludec 100 units/mL)
  • U-200 (insulin degludec 200 units/mL)

Starting insulin for the first time

  • T1D: Your care team will help you calculate your total daily insulin (TDI) requirement. The typical starting dose of Tresiba is about 30% to 50% of your TDI requirement, injected under the skin once daily.
  • T2D: The typical starting dose is 10 units injected under the skin once daily.

Already taking insulin

  • Adults with T1D or T2D: The typical starting dose of Tresiba is the same total daily dose of long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin you've been previously taking.
  • Children (ages 1 year and older) with T1D or T2D: The typical starting dose of Tresiba is 80% of the total daily dose of long-acting or intermediate-acting insulin your child has been previously taking.
