[QUOTE="slimtony, post: 364560, member: 32192"] Hi, I've tried both Lantus and Levemir, and currently use Levemir 3 times daily. For me, both insulins have a shorter and slightly sharper action than perhaps the manufacturers intended. I found Levemir to be the more stable and reliable of the two. I don't notice any discernible peak with Levemir, whereas I noticed a slight peak at 4-5 hours with Lantus (when used twice daily). You really need to try, test and see for yourself with these insulins because the profile that you see will vary wildly between individuals and also vary depending on their choice of injection site. Some people can happily match their basal needs with just a single shot of Lantus per day. The rest of us have to work a little harder. :) [/QUOTE]
