Alternative Names: Levemir

Levemir (insulin detemir) is a long-acting basal insulin used to manage blood sugar in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It has a relatively smooth and prolonged action, typically lasting up to 20–24 hours, though some people may need twice-daily dosing for full coverage. Levemir begins working about 1–2 hours after injection and has no pronounced peak, helping to reduce the risk of low blood sugar. It is commonly used alongside mealtime (bolus) insulin or oral diabetes medications. Levemir is delivered by subcutaneous injection and is available in vials or prefilled pens.
