About Insulin Detemir
Insulin detemir, sold under the brand name Levemir, is a long-lasting insulin used by adults, adolescents and children (1 year and above) with diabetes mellitus for glycemic control.
Managing glucose levels is important for diabetics in order to prevent diabetes complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, sexual function, blindness, loss of limbs or even death. The use of insulin can also reduce the risk of stroke and heart attacks.
Insulin detemir acts longer than regular insulin by providing a low, steady level of insulin that helps glucose enter the cells so that the body can use it for energy. It is often used in combination with a short-acting insulin or other diabetes drugs such as metformin or exenatide.
Levemir provides a long and stead glycemic control within 3-4 hours and up to 24 hours of basal insulin coverage.
