    I used these pens for quite a while without a single problem, but suddenly every one I use malfunctions. I have thrown away several, but in the future I will be returning them to the pharmacy when they malfunction. They are too expensive and too important to be so shoddy. Returning them will be a huge inconvenience.

    I've had to throw away several pens because they jam. Needles will not come off, so I must use the same needle for the entire pen. I will be switching when I run out. Never had this problem with Lantus pens.

    The mechanical/manufacturing quality of the Levemir pens is horrible.
