I'm currently enrolled in Phase 3 for Icodec. The study is 54 weeks in total and will be completed by October 2022. What I've found with this insulin is that I tend to experience more lows at the start of the week and by day 7 my blood sugars tend to be running higher until my next weekly dosage. I feel I had better control with once a day Tresiba.
Good talk about pros and cons. Interesting development. Hope it doesn’t cause a “Lantus Low” kind of effect if one accidentally nicks a blood vessel when injecting. 250 units as a rapid insulin would be real bad for most people.
It would be great if you and we all your type 1 diabitic can meet or through anymode by any wtsp grp or so and can share about our life and insulin times because it daily gives me a sense of loneliness from society. And through this life talks we can know people like us and fell same .
@@diabetesdailydigest it would be my pleasure but if you will make such telegram or whtsp grp much more people would join else in mine I only knows you so we both will be there only . Though I am sharing a wtsp grp link as I don't wanted to miss the chance to get connected to you and make my life more easier . You can publish that too on your video ✌️ We Will have our daily life diabitics guides , discussions on the days spent ND many more
I just finished this study for icodec. It didn't work well for me, I went back to basaglar after the end of the study and my readings stabilized almost overnight. It worked better for the type 2s in the study. At the end of the study I was taking 150 units, at U-700.
That’s really disappointing to hear. I guess we’ll see, maybe they’ll keep working on it before it’s released. Might just not be a feasible option though for type 1 diabetics, and I’m kind of okay with that, the thought of a once a week basal insulin is a bit scary to me.
The variability from day to day and even hour to hour in the way your body reacts to insulin makes this a very bad idea. Once it's in your body, there is no way you can make any corrections. If anything, taking smaller doses makes much more sense. I personally prefer taking multiple injections and have more control rather than putting my faith in a product that promises too much.
Isn't taking such a large amount of insulin in one shot extremely dangerous as to put a person into a deadly hypoglycemic coma? I realize it would not be quite like a normal shot of insulin but still, I don't know.
I certainly could understand your fear as I share the same thoughts. But the insulin breaks down slowly over the week so you only get a small dose at a time. It’s the same idea with 24 hour basal insulin we currently use, we give the full dose up front but it slowly breaks down over 24 hours.
I’m hoping if they finish the trials sometime this year that maybe we’d have a shot of seeing it end of this year early next year. But it’s always hard to predict with fda approval etc. But I’m right there with ya with 4 injections a day so I’m anxiously awaiting it’s release too.

Its so nice to hear insight from someone whos actually using the insulin! Thanks for sharing!

That would be horrifying. Let’s hope they get that all worked out in development. Wouldn’t be worth the risk if that was a possibility.
Thanks for your input...
No problem!

If you make one please let me know id definitely join.

I definitely agree. I make changes to my basal insulin day to day and being locked in for a week can be a scary thought.
Like the old saying, If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. Or something like this.
Hoping for come soon 🤞
Same here!!!

Is it work for type 1diabetes??
The newest study did include type 1 diabetics so hopefully they will find it effective and safe enough to clear it for type 1 diabetics.
Oramed pharmaceutical insulin pill will be available by 2025 ?? 🤔🤔
Interesting. I’ll be curious to see how that works, first of its kind.
Brother I inject 4 times a day🥺🥺
When will it launch globally?

@@diabetesdailydigest brother actually I am type 1 diabetic
So this should work?
Same here. Yep works for both Type 1 and Type 2 from my understanding.
