I was on about 24u twice a day. Found that Levemir peaked at 6-8 hrs and then dropped off quite quickly over nect few hours.

You need to basal test to check what is happening. Switching to Tresiba gives a much flatter profile for most people.
 
Been on Levemir for about 4 months now after taking a single dose of Lantus for 10 years plus.

I was on 32 units of Lantus but now taking, 22 Levemir at night, about 10pm and 18 units Levemir around 7 am.Not really noticed a big change in my control to be honest
 
I take Levemir only once before bed, 9 or 10 units, depending on BS.
