Long Acting Insulin (Semglee) and Hypoglycemia

I am reaching out to inquire if anyone has had hypoglycemia events (ie, <70) with long acting insulins (Semglee) vs. other insulins?

If you have, have you been able to identify the root cause(s) of the hypoglycemia with this med? What have you done to reduce the incidence? Hypoglycemia is multifactorial, but seem to see more with long acting insulins vs. any others.

Your feedback is appreciated!!
