[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1416358, member: 32394"] Levemir doesn't state that it lasts 24 hours, the patient information leaflets say it can last up to 24 hours. The leaflets also say it can be taken twice daily. It's pretty well recognised that levemir doesn't last 24 hours and the nice guidelines for its use say it should be prescribed for twice daily shots. I think your DSN is just being confused. There are plenty of alternative basal insulins, but this isn't necessarily a reason to require an alternative. Levemir is not being phased out, it remains available on bnf, it remains the basal of choice in nice guidelines for type 1. [/QUOTE]
