Its a while since I have used levemir but as I recall it did not last 24 hours for me so is this the norm or just me

Levemir doesn't last 24 hours for most. I think it's usually split in two doses.

That is what I recall but dns says it lasts the full 24 hours ,am going back to it again as my control is rubbish at the moment

when i had it i was told it lasts 24 hours.. and told to take it once a day.... however for me it lasted 16/18 hours and i found split dose better

my ex also had levemir for a short while and found similar results

I use Levemir. It can be taken once daily or twice daily as required. I take it twice a day - 12hrs apart.

This thread attempts to explain the dosage and duration with a pretty 3-dimensional graph.

I can see why there is some confusion about how often to take it.
