It means that you are getting plain insulin for your Diabetes.
You need two doses of plain insulin , 2 units each, once 10 minutes before lunch and second time 10 mins before dinner.
You don't need it before breakfast. Injection has to be given in the fat tissue (not muscle).
Levimir is a long acting insulin. It is not used during pregnancy.
