[QUOTE="ljmercer, post: 1358333, member: 340351"] Levimir has a different pH to that of blood; it is slightly acidic. This is the cause of the pain and to reduce the pain, I would split your dosage into two smaller ones. It is also the same for those using Lantus. I discovered this about 5 years ago when I used to be on injections and I had the same problem with my long acting insulin (Levimir and then Lantus). Novorapid doesn't hurt because it's the same pH as blood. Hope this helps for all because I know it helped me into changing into a pump with only Novorapid! [/QUOTE]
