I currently take Levemir insulin. Can anyone compare Levemir to Lantus? I read the posts about Lantus and was wondering if anybody has an opinion of one over the other as far as BS results.Thanks!

I only know about Lantus. I really like the fact that my diabetes is under control with only one injection daily.

I have been on both. Lantus is once a day versus Levemier I need to take it 2x a day. My new endo is going to put me back on the Lantus in august along with a few other changes dont know what they are yet. He doesnt understand why my old endo changed fom lantus to levemier. why add another shot? I know they are both long lasting. At the time of change I was on steroids for a back injury with a split dose given 2 x a day I had better control. Thats all the info I can give. hope this helps
