Benefits of Levemir®

Works for up to 24 hours

Taken once or twice a day, Levemir® helps control your blood sugar levels for up to 24 hours. For people with type 2 diabetes, one dose before bedtime helps keep their blood sugar level under control, day and night.

Proven to safely reduce blood sugar and A1C

Levemir® insulin therapy has been proven to help reduce blood sugar levels over 24 hours.

Your physician may measure your A1C to determine how well your blood sugar levels have been controlled over time. If you have type 2 diabetes, Levemir®, taken once daily, can help you get to your blood sugar goal.

Some patients taking insulin therapy may have episodes of low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia. People with type 2 diabetes taking Levemir® had a low rate of low blood sugar.

Less weight gain

Concerned about the effects of insulin therapy on your weight? People with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes gained less weight with Levemir® than with other long-acting insulin therapies.

Levemir® FlexPen®

  • A discreet, prefilled, dial-a-dose insulin pen
  • About the size of a fountain pen—fits neatly in a pocket or purse
  • Works for up to 42 days at room temperature (below 86°F) without refrigeration after first use

You can get Levemir® FlexPen® for the same co-pay as vial and syringe under most managed care plans. And one box of Levemir® FlexPen® prefilled insulin pens contains 5 disposable pens for a total of 1500 units of Levemir® insulin. Thatʼs 50% more insulin than a vial!

Please see the full Prescribing Information, which contains the Instructions For Use.
