Advise patient to prime their insulin pen before each dose by performing an airshot by turning the dose selector to select 2 units. They should be able to see a drop of insulin appear at the needle tip. The patient can then select the number of units they need to inject. Levemir can be injected under the skin of the stomach, upper legs or upper arms.
