| I think it is also important to note that due to the pregnancy insulin becomes more and more ineffective, in most cases the levels of insulin needed to keep a A1C in the 5 range will double or triple by the end of the pregnancy. I know mine tripled and I was taking almost 15 or 20 units of humalog per meal in my 8 and 9 months instead of my normal 3 or 4!! Of course, as soon as the baby delivers the bg goes back to normal. My doctor even took my insulin IV out after the delivery and let me be insulin free for hours until my sugar started getting high and then we started insulin levels from scratch. Also, since insulin is the hormone it is, and it takes so much to maintain control in the pregnancy it will make you gain more weight than a normal person. I gained 50 lbs, I'm sure some of it was do to my excessive Captain D's intake. Anyway just putting in some info |
