"I am a type 1 diabetic who was taking Lantus for years with an average A1C of 6.8 to 7.4. Insurance switched me to Levemir which faded after 20 hours and increased my A1C to the high sevens. Then tried Basaglar in spite of all the bad reviews it got. Well don't believe everything you read! This stuff is even better than Lantus! My A1C dropped from 7.9 to 7.3 the last 3 months which still included about 1 month that I had still been taking Levemir. I feel great! Thank you Lilly!"
