I have recently doubled my dose of Levemir and i tend to get a headache afterwards - however this may be for other stress related reasons

Has anyone else experienced headaches with Levemir when starting with it or upping the dose?

I have not used Levemir but as you have increased the dose, I wonder if you are experiencing hypos which definitely give me headaches.
Are you using a CGM or Libre which could highlight these whilst sleeping?

I have been using Levimir for a few years now and cannot say that I noticed any increase in headaches when I swapped over from Abasaglar. But we're all different so it may be affecting you in way that did not affect me.

Hi. Never had any problems of that sort with Levemir.
