[QUOTE="mentat, post: 2105786, member: 86670"] Another reason to feel good about Levemir... Lantus forms a sticky ball when you inject it in your body and stays there. This is how it achieves its slow release, but putting physical pressure on the ball changes insulin release. Levemir does not have this problem. I have much better results on Levemir than Lantus. Levemir is shorter-acting than Lantus and for me at least, I can reduce my Levemir after a day of exercise so I don't go low overnight. I'm in Aus as well (Sydney). Endos here rarely prescribe Apidra and Levemir, even though I think they're hands-down better if you know what you're doing. Although Fiasp is on the PBS now which will work better than Apidra for some people. [/QUOTE]
