Is anyone on insulin (lantus) shots?

I take both fast- and long-lasting insulin. I take 60 units of Levemir (similar to Lantus) right before bed and I take Novolog before each meal. The number of units of Novolog is determined by a sliding scale which means that I'm checking my glucose level before each meal and then again 2 hours after each meal.

I do, however, right now I am on an insulin pump and only use humalog (fast acting insulin).

Hello & Congrats Sugar Plums,

I was wondering if taking insulin contributed to you achieving a pregnancy......due to keeping sugars down?

I think it played a role because prior to my being diagnosed with diabetes, I had suffered 4 miscarriages. I do have other issues for those losses but, it wasn't until I was diagnosed with diabetes, increased metformin, added actos and the insulin and controlled those sugars (doing all that also made me lose about 20-25 pounds) that I got my first bfp with no help of fertility medications. That was also my first successful pregnancy.

I do know when my sugars are in the normal range, I will have normal af's and feel better.

I'm on insulin while pregnant (metformin if needed otherwise)

novolin and humalog at the moment. :/ Not fun but worth it for the baby to be sure.
