I think this is a pretty big jump and I'm not too happy about it.

The other things going on are 1, I am weaning my baby and 2, I just stopped taking a birth control pill.

I've increased my lantus to pre-pregnancy dose (10u), but I am still getting crazy highs from things I normally tolerate. I've also had some unexpected lows. I just can't seem to figure this out.

I've had type 1 for two years now. Could it also be that my pancreas it finally kaput? (Also, I took a pregnancy test...negative).

Help!
Well I do know that birth control pills will play havoc with diabetes they always do . I just think maybe your body just has not settled down after childbirth so to speak and the birth control pills too . this is definately something you should speak to endo about and make her listen . I think your body has been put through quite alot and it just needs to get back on track . I know that when I was on them they played havoc with my bgs all the time untill I finally had to give the pill up the birth control I mean . and you will expierience highs and lows as well . Next appt i would bring it up with her again and again untill she listens . some of us have alot of problems with our drs and they have to be made to listen sometimes . good luck and I hope I helped .
