Helps control blood sugar for up to 24 hours

Levemir® FlexPen® can help you get to your blood sugar goal. It is safe and
proven to help adults and children 2 and over with type 1 diabetes and
adults with type 2 diabetes.

*Levemir® is also the first and only long-acting insulin analog that can be
used during pregnancy without increasing the risk of harm to the unborn
baby.*

Using the Levemir® FlexPen® helps control blood sugar levels all day and
night for up to 24 hours.

You may have recently been prescribed Levemir® to help control your
diabetes, or you may be considering Levemir® for the first time. Whether
you’re new to insulin therapy or have previously used another insulin, the
important thing is finding and sticking to a treatment strategy that is
right for you. With 24-hour coverage, a low rate of low blood sugar, and
proven weight benefits when used in certain combination therapies, Levemir®
FlexPen® can help you get to goal. Talk to your doctor to see if Levemir®
may be right for you.
Happy blood sugar control
Denise
