How long is tresiba good for?

You’ve just started using Tresiba and you’re already wondering how long it will last you. Fear not, my friend, for I am here to answer that very question.

Tresiba, for those unfamiliar with the name, is a once-daily injection for adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. It contains insulin degludec and is used to control high blood sugar levels. But enough about what it does – let’s talk about how long it lasts.

The Basics

First things first: Tresiba has an expiration date of two years from its manufacture date. This means that as long as your Tresiba hasn’t expired, it should still be good to use.

However, once you start using a vial or pen of Tresiba, things get a little more complicated.

Opened Vials

If you have an opened vial of Tresiba in your possession, you can keep using it for up to four weeks after opening. After that point, the insulin may lose its effectiveness and could potentially harm your body rather than help regulate blood sugar levels.

But let’s be real – if you’re like most people with diabetes who require insulin shots multiple times per day (sometimes even eight!), an open vial won’t sit around unused past four weeks!

Opened Pens

Tresiba pens are meant to contain multiple doses of the medication in one convenient package deal; thus alleviating any concerns associated with messy needle exchanges while measuring out injections manually each time from a bottle/vial at home which can lead to inaccurate dosing.

Similar rules apply here when deciding upon the lifespan post-opening – whether or not they contain multiple rounds inside only serving as comfort reassurance since injecting oneself isn’t exactly comfortable! Once accessed by attaching needles prongs onto these comparatively tiny cylinders connected via spring-loaded mechanisms – opened pens of Tresiba can be used for up to six weeks.

Storing Your Insulin

It won’t do you any good if your insulin loses its effectiveness because of storage issues.

Here are some tips on properly storing your Tresiba:

  • Keep it refrigerated until use
  • Don’t shake the vial, syringe or pen – this could damage the chemical composition inside
  • If you DO happen to accidentally shake the insulin container, let it sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before using it.
  • Make sure your injections are always being prepped and carried out properly

Failure in following execution guidelines might lead to leakage from around extracted sections leading towards inaccurate dosages which may trigger adverse symptoms resulting in improper glucose absorption directly impacting blood sugar levels looking quite awful esp important when expecting positive results!

What Happens When Your Tresiba Expires?

I hear ya asking yourself right now : “So if my insulin expires does that mean I have to start all over again?”

The answer is . . .

Yes and no!

Once expired, there’s still a small chance that using Tresiba will help control blood sugar levels. But overall, why would anyone want to risk potential side effects by ingesting outdated supplementary substances?

With substandard ingredients comes substandard performance so always aim towards only ever receiving top quality versions regardless of a price tag as we like to say at our office.
