Does anyone have experience with this long type of insulin? |
I use LEVEMIR as my long acting one with HUMALOG for meals. I was using LANTUS but was switched to LEVEMIR after I had hives all over my face. I truly cannot tell you if it was LANTUS or not unless I tried it again.
They work basically the same and I do not know why some doctors prescribe one over the other. It is working well for me for my 24 hour basal coverage.
