[QUOTE="daisymj14, post: 1406466, member: 333740"] Hi everyone, I have been prescribed Levemir on split doses recently and I have read that it can cause a reaction. I am really struggling, it is painful, hot to touch, itching, it's driving me insane. My legs feel as if I've climbed Mount Everest. It's on all injection points on both legs and stomach. The hospital have said 'reaction is expected' when I called them, but it is getting irritated by wearing tights (which I do for work everyday), or any other clothing for that matter. As you can probably tell from my rant it's making me quite grumpy, and becoming a naturist isn't an option. my blood sugars are sky high, I've had brilliant control over the last 6 months on Tresiba but it was causing nighttime hypos pretty much every night. previously on Lantus for 15 years but it wasn't lasting quite 24 hours. I'm concerned the Levemir isn't being absorbed. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170307/b2396a8ac8029e98855645b0fff19fba.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
