How Tresiba® works

[H3] Tresiba® is a once-daily, long-acting insulin injection that releases slow and steady throughout the day, like the body's insulin, to lower blood sugar.

Tresiba® is available in a vial or the FlexTouch® pen. Once injected, Tresiba® helps the sugar in your blood get into your cells. Sugar provides your cells with the energy needed to fuel your body.

actor portrayal

[H1] Molecular Design

The unique molecular design of Tresiba® allows it to connect like a string of pearls.

[H1] Around-the-clock management

Tresiba® releases slow and steady from the ends of its molecular chain for a full 24 hours of blood sugar management with powerful A1C reduction.

For adults, if you miss or delay your Tresiba® dose, simply take it as soon as you can, then return to your normal dosing schedule. Just be sure to leave at least 8 hours between doses.
