Hi. I just asked my nurse to change my prescription for my lantus to levemir insulin. I asked them in cartridges, and she'll post me the Novopen for that.
I have two Novopen echos for novorapid, and I'm wondering if levemir cartridges are compatible with Novopen echo too.

Many thanks

Yup, I have a Novopen 4 for Levemir and a Novopen Echo for Novorapid and each pen can be used for either insulin

Me too! It's handy as I have some levemir in my parents fridge just in case I go there for dinner and forget my levemir pen. It's handy being able to just shove it into my novopen echo
