Let's get something clear here.
Toujeo is 3x more concentrated in UNITS... 300units/milliliter.
Toujeo(R) (insulin glargine injection) 3 Units/mL
No pen is 300ml....that is almost 12 ounces in volume.
I don't understand how a doctor and pharmacist said to use
the same amount. 10 units of Lantus or Levimir would not correspond the the same volume of Toujeo which is 3x stronger per ml.
I don't have a Toujeo pen here to examine, but strenuously suggest you straighten this advice from your doctor out! It is possible that the pen calibration has been adjusted to make conversion easier for patients. But I cannot confirm that at this time. You need a live person on your end to
sit down with you and explain this product and its administration to you.
You must be very sure of your dosing before you try using this new version of insulin.
