Protaphane Flexpen instead of Levemir

2021-01-08 11:56:55
I am currently 18weeks pregnant, recently travelled from Germany to India. I have used long acting Insulin Protaphane Flexpen when I was in Germany. Doctor in India has prescribed Levemir (Insulin Detemir). I still have Protaphane pens with me and it has worked well for me in the past. Can I use them instead of Levemir?
