Yes, it can cause hair loss, though it is a rare side-effect. I've read several other posters on other medical boards complaining of hair loss linked to Levemir.
However, Humalog ALSO can cause hair loss, I'm betting your hair loss is being caused more by Humalog than by Levemir, though it's possible that either or both are causing it for you.
