Levemir® FlexPen®
Helping you control blood sugar day and night
Levemir® is a long-acting insulin taken once or twice a day to help control
your blood sugar between meals and while you’re sleeping. Levemir® can be used alone
or in combination with diabetes pills or rapid-acting insulin therapy.
Levemir® insulin therapy can be taken with the Levemir® FlexPen®, a discreet, prefilled,
dial-a-dose pen. It is about the size of a fountain pen, fitting neatly in your
pocket or purse. Once in use, the Levemir® FlexPen® works for up to 42 days without
refrigeration (below 86ºF), so you can store your Levemir® FlexPen® in your medicine
cabinet or bedside table.
Levemir® FlexPen®: proven to reduce A1C
Levemir® FlexPen® has been proven to help reduce A1C
levels and reduce the amount of sugar in your blood. People taking Levemir® who
were previously taking another long-acting insulin had a low rate of low blood sugar,
also known as hypoglycemia.
