Insulin - anyone heard of this one?

[Gobbledigook]

It sounds like 'detamere' or something similar but can't find anything in BNF or when I google but keeps cropping up in the work I'm doing (listening to interviews so it's not written). All I know is it's a long acting insulin.

HELP - anyone know what it is?

nope! hmmm, there aren't many long acting insulins really. insulatard & glargine are the most commonly used ones...

That's it - 2 people have now mentioned this Detamere (that's how it sounds) but I'm only aware of Insulatard and Lantus.

ok, i've found it now in the bnf. detemir, recombinant human insulin analogue ? long acting. it's made by novo & the trade name is levemir. hth.

have you got the bnf online gdg, it's much better & easier to search.

Detemir

Oh brilliant, thank you both! How did I miss it?! Mind you, my BNF is a bit old! No, not got it online - maybe I should but I can usually work out most drug names!
