Levemir twice per day, lantus nominally once per day although some people find it better to split the dose and take it twice a day - test & experiment to find how YOUR body works with the insulin

you may, yes, BUT...... if they happen, they come on fairly slowly, so if you're testing often enough through the day, you'll see them hapening in 'slow motion' - at least that's been my experience. BTW, testing often is highly recommended when you're changing anything to do with diabetes management. Once you get the hang of the way the changes are affecting you, you can always reduce testing frequency.

good luck!
