Common Questions and Answers about Levemir how long does it last

levemir

Biggest difference is that Levimir release cycles last around half as long as Lantus, which makes for 2 basal shots a day, and it's a little easier to accidentally overlap doses. For example, I try to get my shots at 7am and 10pm, but that creates a 3-hour overlap and gap on either end. Getting the dosage right makes it easy to work around, but it's only as good as the consistency in your schedule.

What is your correction factor? How many units of insulin does it take to bring your blood sugar down by say 20 points. But you can only test this properly AFTER you've adjusted your levemir and have your non-eating (basal) blood sugar stable. Becuase for now the humalog is replacing too low basal insulin. 1-2 unit increase in levemir is not going to make a big change in anthing considering you already take 22 units. But still you need to increase slowly over a period of days - weeks.

When you eat, you need the fast acting insulin like Novolog to act quickly to cover the meal. For some, Lantus and Levemir act the same. For me, Levemir seemed to work better in that it provided more consistency to my blood sugar levels. I like Levemir. I have switched to 2 shots per day (morning and night) instead of just taking the 1 shot at night, because the 1 shot at night may not cover the 24 hours.

my fathers blood sugar is 224 how many units of levemir flexpen do i give him his Dr put him on a sliding scale. i dont know what the dosage is ???? i give him humalog the scale is 200 to 250/ 5 units and so on. Is there a guideline of units for levemir ?

How are your BG Numbers, Many have found that Levemir does not last a full 24 hours.

but, I did have a scare one month ago, I found a lump in my breast...my doctor felt it and said that he believed that it was a cyst, I had a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound...nothing was visible on these tests, however, he advised me to have a surgeon check it out, just to be sure. I am still in the process of having that done. I might wait until September, to see what has been decided by the EASD, before I stop using Lantus...

Hi, If this low dose of lantus twice daily is working for you without any problems, there is no reason to change it. Lantus is written as once daily but many doctors(including myself) and patients split the dose because even though it is supposed to be "peakless", it is not for some people. At low doses it works especially well as a split dose. Levemir can be used instead, and is more commonly written as twice daily.

Thanks for the information. I appreciate all your help. Would anyone know about how long a typical vial of generic insulin will last? And has anyone had any experience with Walmart's ReliOn/Novolin 70/30?

my body hurts so bad and i feel like im losing my mind how long does the withdrawl symptoms last?

It might last up to a week, depending on where it's coming from. I thought I was out of the clear too...but I've learned differently in the past few weeks. When do you see your doctor again? If it's not for a while, I'd call him tomorrow morning and ask them how long it might last AND to see if they know what's causing it yet.

I'm 7 weeks and 6 days, just wondering how long does morning sickness last during pregnancy.
