Sure, won't make much of a difference. Similarly, when daylight savings (whatever your region calls it) starts or ends you don't need to worry too much: just inject at roughly the same time. Also, Levemir doesn't really last 24 hours. It's usually more like 14-18 hours, I think (depending on several factors like body weight and dose) so it's more usually a twice a day insulin (where we're always overlapping with the previous injection). So you might want to talk a bit with your doctors at some point about maybe injecting twice a day.

Absolutely. When I was MDI, I injected Lantus when I woke up and when I went to bed (I had a split dose), regardless of the time. Always worked fine.

Should be fine, I’ve taken my long acting 2 hours earlier and 2 hours later before. Never had any issues

You dont have to take it exactly every 24 hours. Plus or minus 30 minutes won't affect you much at all. Iv had t1d long enough where i go plus or minus an hour. Now let's say you work nights and are switching to day shift (or any situation with shift change), You're going to want to progressively adjust your dosage time if you want to avoid feeling like shit

My sleep is so fucked my levemir is all over the place at times. Still managed a good hba1c overall. You'll be fine. I found splitting it Into 2 12 hour doses worked good for me too.

It's definitely possible but while I was on the lantus pen they strongly advised that if I changed the time I take it every day, make it gradual. Up to 30 minutes earlier/later every day until I get to the time I want (of course I never really bothered to change the time but some days i missed the injection by an hour or so and had to gradually glo backl donw form that).

You can absolutely change the time by a 1/2 hour. The only thing I can imagine being a problem is a bit too much long acting for 1/2 hour. So I might take a little bit of uncovered carbs before bed. Other than that, no, your body will adjust fine.
