CUT TO LISA ON-CAMERA:
Lisa, Toujeo Patient
Salem, Oregon is a beautiful place to live, the weather's good. We have four seasons, including the rainy season, I like to sew, I garden and I live with type 2 diabetes.
I was diagnosed in 2007, when I was 47 years old (DISCLAIMER on SCREEN: Lisa is being compensated by Sanofi, the sponsor of this video.), no one else in the family has diabetes, so it was quite a shock.
The diagnosis left me so scared. I felt like I was losing control of my life. I wanted desperately to get it back, so I did everything that might help control diabetes. I took the oral medication my doctor prescribed; I joined an exercise class. I walked I swam. I cut out carbs and I Lost weight. and you know what else I did; I burn myself out. The strict regimen I set was too much for me.
My doctor noticed that I'd taken a step back and understood. My struggle, she suggested an injectable, but that thought made me just as scared as when I was diagnosed. In a panic, I went out and I got to rescue cats and some chickens. If I didn't have control over taking care of myself, at least I could take care of others.
Turn that I probably didn't need to start my own Zoo because shots were not as bad as I thought. But just about the time, I became known as the neighbourhood egg supplier, I got another round of bad news. Because of some insurance challenges, I was going to need to switch treatments.
My doctor suggested Toujeo (DISCLAIMER on SCREEN: Toujeo® U-300 (insulin glargine) injection 300 Units/mL), and this time, I didn't panic. (DISCLAIMER on SCREEN: Before starting Toujeo®, tell your doctor about all the medications you take, including OTC medicines, vitamins, and supplements, and herbal supplements.)
I had learned to trust my doctor and I had learned the value of research. So I read all about it. And then I brought my question to my doctor. I was really glad to hear about the proven A1C reduction, that was so important to me. We also discussed that the most common side effect of any insulin including Toujeo is low blood sugar. So I made sure to tell my family about the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar, so they could help me recognize it. (DISCLAIMER on SCREEN: The most common side effect of Toujeo® is low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), which may be serious and life-threatening. Ask your doctor about the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia, how to monitor your blood sugar, and what to do if you have a hypoglycemic event. Please also listen to the Important Safety Information at the end of this video for more about Toujeo®.)
I'm now three years into my Toujeo journey, and I can say that it's working really well for me. My A1c's are at a level that makes me and my doctor happy. (DISCLAIMER on SCREEN: Patient story reflects the real-life experiences of a patient who has been prescribed Toujeo®. However, individual experiences may vary. Patient stories are not necessarily representative of what another patient using Toujeo® may experience). And I really like that with Toujeo, I use fewer pens, So I even have a little more room in the fridge for all those eggs. Toujeo has just been a good choice for me.
It took me a while to get to this point, but I want other people to learn from my story. You don't have to do everything at once like I tried to do. It's easier to have an occasional treat than to say I'm never going to eat carbs again. It's easier to say I'm going to walk around the block, than it is to set an immediate goal of two miles. Baby steps are better than no steps. Find a doctor you can trust, advocate for yourself. Do your research and find a therapy that works for you. I'm so grateful to have found Toujeo. Even if I did have to rescue a couple cats and adopt some chickens along the way.
