So I am eating amaller portions and dropping some weight, a good thing for me. I will continue taking it, used to use Humalog every few hours, using the Levemir 1 sometimes 2 times a day. Made it through a whole month on just the 5 pen box--very unusal for me. It works for me, glad I was able to try it.

I used Levemir for about 4 months. I had pain with every injection and developed large bruises and thickened, lumpy skin. The bruising got so severe that my doctor determined I was allergic to the drug and switched me to Humalog.
