For Diabetes, Type 1 "I have been using Levemir for 10 years. I have noticed the latest vials with expiration dates of 2024 have a different formula. My blood sugar is running lower than with previous vials. Has anyone else noticed the same?"

For Type 2 Diabetes "I was prescribed Lantus in 2014, my insurance changed it to Basaglar a few years later. With both of those, my A1C average was under 8. My insurance changed my prescription to Levemir in April 2020, and my last 2 test results were 11.0 in June and 11.1 in November. My eating habits haven't changed, nor has my exercise. My doctor increased my dosage by 50%, and my daily numbers are still HIGH. If it isn't that the Levemir is not working, it's a weird coincidence."

For Type 2 Diabetes "The Flex Pen was much easier to use than the Flex Touch. I tend to bend the needle trying to inject the insulin with Flex Touch. It now takes 2 hands and much more pressure to inject."

For Type 2 Diabetes "The new pens do not work. They move so slowly that I have to repress the trigger for each notch it delivers. I am afraid it is not giving me my dosage. I will have my doctor change my medication."
