[Diabetes-talk] Levemir

[Joy Stigile]

Hi Dar!

I did use Levemir for a short time.  I stopped because I was not able to get 
it to last 24 hours.  This is not a quick acting Insulin.  Rather it is a 
slow acting type like Lantus, which takes 3 or 4 days to effect your blood 
sugar level.  Five units is not a lot of insulin, so don't worry about 
getting low yet.

Remember Insulin does not cause weight gain but being in great control after 
not being in control will cause you to gain weight, which is possible to 
lose with more exercise.
