Hello and welcome aboard!

I have had to pregnancies with diabetes. One was with a sliding scale regimen and my last pregnancy I had a pump. I never got use to the whole sliding scale treatment because you have to eat according to how much insulin you take. The whole basal and bolus is what looks like the best method for controlling diabetes. The basal is a long acting that you take to cover your sugars all day and night. A bolus which is fast acting you take with each meal you eat. When on this regimen you carb count and take the fast acting (bolus) insulin according to how many carbs you intake. The only downside of this regimen is you can't take the long acting other wise know as Lantus during pregnancy.

Maybe you can look into a pump? I had great control using a pump my last pregnancy compared my other pregnancy when I was on MDI's. Hope this helps and isn't confusing. There are others here that I'm sure will come forward and add even more information.
