Indications for Levemir Insulin
A name brand version of the generic insulin, detemir, Levemir is used to treat diabetes mellitus (chronic diabetes). Levemir is an insulin analog, which means that it is not a type of insulin derived from ingredients found in nature, but rather an artificially crafted chemical substance developed to behave like, or analogously, to natural insulin. Levemir is known to elicit a strong reaction in dogs, meaning that, typically, less is required to constitute a full dosage, as opposed to other types of insulin.
