NovoLog, Fiasp, Apidra, Humalog, Admelog Consider same conversion as Lantus, given Lantus/Basaglar/Semglee dose equivalency.
Basaglar is not a generic equivalent of Lantus, and therefore, the two are not interchangeable. Although Lantus and Basaglar contain the same
Dose conversion. Insulin supplied. BASAL detemir (Levemir) reduce by 20% glargine (Lantus) glargine (Basaglar or Lantus) unit-per-unit glargine (Lantus).
Toujeo to Lantus/Basaglar; When going from Toujeo to Lantus/Basaglar, the Lantus/Basaglar dose should be started at 80% of the Toujeo dose in order to avoid hypoglycemia; Lantus/Basaglar is more potent than Toujeo; therefore, an equally effective Lantus/Basaglar dose will likely be lower [19,23] Example: Patient's Toujeo dose is 60 units a day
Conversion for maintenance doses only. If patient requires Glargine (Basaglar, Lantus). Glargine yfgn (Semglee). Detemir (Levemir).
Then the recommended initial dose of Basaglar Example. Lantus. Basaglar. is the same as the Lantus dose. 50 units of Lantus transitions to 50 units of Basaglar. Toujeo. Basaglar. is 80% of the Toujeo dose. 50 units of Toujeo transitions to 40 units of Basaglar. twice-daily NPH insulin. once-daily Basaglar. is 80% of the total daily NPH
Lantus. Basaglar. is the same as the Lantus dose. 50 units of Lantus transitions to 50 units of Basaglar. Toujeo. Basaglar. is 80% of the Toujeo dose. 50 units of Toujeo transitions to 40 units of Basaglar. twice-daily NPH insulin. once-daily Basaglar. is 80% of the total daily NPH insulin dosage.
Lantus. Basaglar. is the same as the Lantus dose. 50 units of Lantus transitions to 50 units of Basaglar. Toujeo. Basaglar. is 80% of the Toujeo dose. 50 units of Toujeo transitions to 40 units of Basaglar. twice-daily NPH insulin. once-daily Basaglar. is 80% of the total daily NPH insulin dosage.
