This is a complete introduction and explanation of all the different insulins currently available. Part 1 explores long acting, or basal insulins. Part 2 (separate video) explores fast-acting, or bolus insulins. In this video, we learn all about NPH, Lantus, Levemir, Basaglar, Toujeo, and Tresiba. I explain how each insulin works and we discuss their place in diabetes management.

I am a foreign graduate pharmacist preparing for the US pharmacy board exam. Watching all of your videos is a prayer answered to simplify and clearly explain complicated diabetes medications. I can not thank you enough! Please keep it up and up and up! Best regards,

That's great! I'm glad these videos have been helpful to you!

I am a type 1 since 1976. I have had life experience with beef and pork, humlin and humalog insulins. Lots of not fun. Thank you for your knowlege beyond my own

Was on Lantus, had to split dose, now on Levemir, just 1 dose/day. Maybe because I am exercising and mostly eating low carb. Will ask for Tresiba during next appointment.

@orthodoxserb6596 11 месяцев назад

do you use bolus insulins or only Lantus/Levemir...as my son covers all needs only with single daily shoot of Lantus (only 2ml so far D1T)

Hi Sugar High I been loving your videos I love how you demonstrate the difference on the subject you are talking about. Also I love your energy and enthusiasm as you talk about diabetes it keep me attentive. I was wondering can you do a video about the difference between xultophy vs soliqua. Thank you so much for your videos love them.

@sugarhighchannel 4 года назад

Hi thanks for your comment and feedback! A video on Xultophy and Soliqua (with demos) is on my to-do list. Stay tuned!

the video is amazing.. im really grateful for this explanation.. thanks alot. will love to get the toujeo insulin .. im in nigeria , any tip on how i can get it?

@sugarhighchannel 4 года назад

Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I really don't know anything about the Nigerian health system. I would start with a conversation with your physician about what insulin therapy would be best for you based on your own personal needs and what is available in your local area..

I need fast and Long lasting insulin because my sugar level morning five am is 80 and after hour o f light food became 250 again I took 10unit to reduced to 120 but after launch it 300 than I took ,10 more so on

@hank1451 2 года назад

Very informative. If I had to make a suggestion, it would be to speak just a tad slower. I had to stop video and go back to make sure of a couple things like Hypo and Hyper among other portions. Overall I'll give you a grade of 95%. Thanks.

I just started Lantus 2 weeks ago. I can say my numbers are coming down well, but I’m still having issues around mealtimes. Does it take a while for Lantus to kick in? Does it really last for 24 hours?

@sugarhighchannel 3 года назад

Lantus is supposed to last 24 hours but really only makes it to around 18-20 hours. It won’t me able to cover for meals; it’s meant to be a background insulin.

@orthodoxserb6596 11 месяцев назад

@@sugarhighchannel my son (D1T) started using only lantus and it covers everything - we started with 10ml but we had to reduce it to only 2ml a day, mealtime spike is covered as well with Lantus - spike goes up to 170 but then goes down fast, I am suspecting in some remission as what happens now does not have logic

@letstravel321 9 дней назад

Hello, I have a question, when giving Lantus are you not supposed to hold this type of insulin? What if the blood sugar reading is within normal range or slightly low? Are you still suppose to administer this type of insulin? Thank you in advance.

@marizachavez9597 3 года назад

What do think of Semglee? I was recently prescribed this one. Thank you in advance.

@sugarhighchannel 3 года назад

Semglee was approved after I made this video, but it’s pretty much the same as Basaglar and Lantus.

How did you get rid of the fire so quickly at 2:55 ?

@sugarhighchannel 4 года назад

It was flash paper. It burns really fast and leaves no ash behind. I ordered it from an online magician shop for that demonstration. Did you stay to the end of the video for the bloopers? 😉

@ellendodge5156 2 года назад

You have excellent videos - love your explanations, However, that music in the background makes it hard to concentrate on what you’re saying. I know it’s pretty soft, but it’s still distracting.

@Ray-re8om 3 года назад

Is it safe to skip meals on Balsagar?

@DesiRecipesReviews 2 года назад

I have a question. Why people with T2D given medicines rather than insulin? Why take medicines and get side effects while insulin can work the best.

@Una2Cold Год назад

I imagine because one you jump on the insulin train it’s a slippery slope. Your body starts to get more and more accustomed to not having to produce its own insulin (even if it wasn’t much before, it’s still producing some) and then will eventually stop completely. Where as type 2’s who can alter their lifestyle and eating habits might never have to jump on that train if they are serious about their condition
