Levemir FlexPen

Been using it for about 5 years.

very handy and easy to work with

I have been using it for about 4-5 months. It helped to lower my A1C from 9 down to 7.2. I take 10 units every night.

i take 50 units at bedtime, my blood sugars run high in morning, and this seems to be helping me. i love the pen it is so much better for me, was using syringes and vile before

Dosage is twice daily. 8 units at breakfast and 10 at dinner ( My BG tends to trend higher at night).

Works as intended.

None.

Was put on it and my doctor took me off ALl oral meds my sugar shot way up in the 300's. (it had been 180) So I started back on my glmipirade and my metformin and then split the Levimir in half 50 at night 50 in Am according to the Diabetes instructors advice and i am doing great as long as i do not go off on a eating spree.

Finally working and finally getting 120 numbers

None really

Unfortunetly it did not work for me they put me back on Lantus until I get my pump. Lantus seems to be working a little better.

No side effects

Did not work for me

Between this, Novolog and Byetta I have finally gotten really good control over my BG levels. I am using 20 units instead of the 8 listed in the description.

Additionally, major changes to my previous diet and a increased focus on exercise has also helped me achieve my goal of lowering my A1C.

I only have to inject once with this one unlike that Byetta and the Novolog, usually a few hours after my evening meal.

Have experienced some higher fasting numbers first thing in the a.m (DP) and wonder if I might be going low at night while I sleep — may need to split the dose up into an a.m. and p.m. (I'd like to be able to reduce the amount of shots a day — not add more lol!)

Very easy to use especially for a beginner.

none that i notice.

I started today and am taking 20 units in morn and night.

Covered by my insurance and is not suppose to make you gain as much weight as Lantus

I have mine in the vial I need to get that changed.

I use the levemir flex pen

it is easier to carry with you than a syringe and vial. I also think it feels less painful

I didn't work for me

I made my sugars to through the roof.

Handy, easy to use, less messy than a traditional needle.

Some of the pens are a little sticky to use and it is a little more expensive than the bottles of levemir.

I am taking this now. I take it twice per day, morning and night. I love using a pen and this one is very easy. I am new to insulin and am Type 2. Still trying to see how many units work for me.

Easy to use, easy to carry if needed, and easy to store.

Costs a bit more than some.

Don't have to take as often.

None really other than it makes me swell—and of course that is not pleasant.
