It's helping me.

Not long. It fades a little after 12 hours, before the next round kicks in...

However, I'll take that over Lantus unpredictability and 30-50 mg/dL drop a couple hours after injecting.

Thanks guys!

I'm using virtually the same amount of Levemir as I did Lantus.
To be safe, though, you'll just have to transition gradually from Lantus to Levemir. I pulled it off changing from 1x/day Lantus to 2x/day Levemir; you're already on your way by being 2x/day.
Hope this helps!
