Basaglar

Basaglar was approved by the FDA in 2016 to treat both children and adults with type 1 diabetes or adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Basaglar is one of two long-acting insulin products that were approved at the same time. The other is Lantus (insulin glargine).

In One Sentence: Basaglar (insulin glargine) is a long-acting insulin that works throughout the day to help control blood sugar levels.

Basaglar (insulin glargine) is a basal insulin that lowers blood sugar levels between meals and overnight. Basal insulins work throughout the day to help control your blood sugar level.

Basaglar is also used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus, in combination with other medicines. This medication must be injected under the skin, usually twice daily or once daily at bedtime.

Basaglar is a long-lasting insulin that is used to treat diabetes in children and adults. Basaglar keeps blood sugar levels low by allowing the body to use its own insulin more effectively. It may also slow or reduce the loss of kidney function over time, which can be a consequence of diabetes.

Basaglar helps control blood sugar (glucose) levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

Basaglar is a basal insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels between meals and overnight throughout the day. Basaglar can also be used in combination with mealtime insulin.

Basaglar is a long-acting insulin that works by lowering blood glucose (sugar) levels after eating. It replaces the natural hormone that your body no longer makes as you age or if you are born without it. Basaglar (insulin glargine injection) is given once daily and starts to work within 30 minutes to 3 hours after an injection, depending on your dosing schedule and how much food you eat before taking this medication.

Side effects include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), allergic reactions, injection site reactions, lipodystrophy, rash and itching.

If you have diabetes and take Basaglar to manage your disease, it’s important to monitor your blood glucose closely. Your doctor may ask you to test your blood sugar levels at different times of the day and night to see how they respond to Basaglar therapy. If you experience symptoms of low blood sugar (such as sudden sweating; rapid heartbeat; feeling like you are going crazy or having a panic attack; confusion; trouble speaking clearly; nausea or vomiting), contact your doctor right away or go directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.

Very similar to Lantus with similar side effects

Basaglar is very similar to Lantus in that it has the same type of delivery mechanism and has the same side effects. The only difference is that Basaglar has a lower cost because it’s newer to the market and there are fewer generic options available yet.

The recommended dosage for Basaglar is also similar: 1 to 2 units once daily; however, some people may need more or less insulin depending on their body size and weight. If you’re new to using an insulin pen, talk with your doctor about how many units of Basaglar are right for you based on your age and any other health conditions you have (such as obesity).

As far as cost goes, plans differ from one company to another but overall costs will be about $50/month if you pay out-of-pocket rather than getting insurance coverage through your employer or government program like Medicare Part D or Medicaid programs in certain states like Florida where they have covering diabetes medications covered 100%.

If your insurance covers basal insulins such as Lantus (which it probably does), then this might not save much money over going with that instead since both brands work just fine (and even better) when used correctly accordingTo WebMD magazine.”
