Levemir is a soluble, long-acting insulin analogue with a prolonged duration of effect used as a basal insulin. The blood glucose lowering effect of Levemir is due to the facilitated uptake of glucose following binding of insulin to receptors on muscle and fat cells and to the simultaneous inhibition of glucose output from the liver.
