Re: Have you heard about Levemir?

i call N insulin the insulin from HE*(#$&*(&#

i'm SO glad i found UL insulin and when it was
deleted from the market i was very upset.... then
they came out with Lantus, which i liked, but i
couldn't get the am numbers under control

maybe with the increases that i have given Levemir
i could have caught up to the am #'s with the
Lantus

either way, it's Levemir for me because it's
available only in pen, while Lantus is available
only in vial format here in Canada

i LOVE my levemir insulin :-)
i now have my am bg reading in control, and
that
means all the rest of the day is in control as
well
my A1c is dropping accordingly too
if i have a hypo, i can directly trace it to
too
much Humalog at a meal that i've misjudged the
carbs at........... it's making my carb
counting a
LOT better as well

i didn't do so well on Lantus..... i never
could
get the am fasting levels down to 'normal
range'........... oh well

Glad to hear it's working for you. I do pretty
well with Lantus so
I'll probably just stick with that but it's good
to know there are
choices. Sure is a big step in the right
direction after the years we
had nothing but that darn peaky and
unpredictable N to get us through
the night.

Best,
Kurt
