A valid prescription is required. Insulin Outlet works exclusively with licensed Canadian pharmacies to ensure patients receive authentic and properly handled medication at a more affordable price.

Tresiba is a long-acting insulin medication that is prescribed to both adults and children diagnosed with diabetes to help them regain control of their blood sugar levels. This injectable medication comes in a couple of different forms and is designed to be taken every day. It slowly releases its effects over time to lower A1C.

• This medication offers over 24 hours of blood sugar management and A1C lowering per dose.
• Tresiba helps with effective control for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
• This medication is suitable for use in adult and pediatric patients.
• Tresiba is a Health Canada-approved medication.

This medication may be found in either a U-100 or U-200 formulation. The dose the patient will be prescribed to take of the medication each day varies by patient. However, those taking the U-100 formulation will be prescribed doses between one and 80 units. Those taking the U-200 formulation version may be prescribed doses ranging between two and 160 units.

How this medication should be taken depends on the device being used to deliver the medication to the patient’s body. FlexTouch pen users must:

1. Make sure that the insulin is correct by checking the pen label and confirming it
2. Inspect the insulin solution to make sure it is clear and does not have color (do not use the pen if it does)
3. Attach a new needle by removing the paper tab and then pushing the needle straight onto the pen and twisting it until it is firmly secured
4. Take off both needle caps
5. Set the dose selector to 2 units
6. Press and hold the dose button until the display returns to “0” (a small droplet of insulin at the needle tip means that the pen has been primed correctly)
7. Rotate the dose selector until the prescribed dose shows up in the dose window
8. Clean the chosen injection site with an alcohol swab and give the area time to dry completely
9. Insert the needle into the appropriate injection site
10. Press and hold the dose button until the counter reaches “0” and then make sure to slowly count to six before withdrawing the needle
11. Remove the needle carefully and discard it in an approved sharps container
12. Put the pen cap back onto the pen

Those using the vial version will have to follow some different steps.

1. Remove the tamper-resistant cap from the vial
2. Wipe the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab and give it time to dry completely
3. With the needle pointing upward pull back the plunger until the top of the plunger lines up with the prescribed number of insulin units
4. Put the needle through the rubber stopper of the vial
5. Press the plunger all the way down to push air into the vial
6. Turn the vial and syringe upside down together
7. Carefully pull back the plunger until the insulin level goes slightly past the prescribed dose
8. If air bubbles appear, gently tap the syringe until the bubbles rise to the top and then slowly push the plunger upward until the correct dose is reached
9. Check the syringe to make sure the correct amount of insulin has been drawn
10. Carefully remove the needle from the rubber stopper
11. Choose an injection site and clean the area with an alcohol swab and allow it time to dry fully
12. Insert the needle into the skin and press the plunger all the way down to give the full dose
13. Remove the needle and gently press the injection site with gauze or an alcohol swab if bleeding occurs

Always throw away any needles in the correct sharps container.
