I think the only reason some doctors don't want people to use Lantus when they are pregnant is because there is not enough research out there about Lantus and pregnancy. Full stop. Like Keezheekoni said, they don't want to do research on pregnant mothers.

That said, I'm sure it's fine. I highly doubt that one kind of insulin would have more or less chance of complications than another kind. I'm pretty sure that it's your control that matters. So go with whatever gives you the best control.

That said, the knowledge that Lantus is an unknown value with regards to pregnancy is one of the reasons I'm going on a pump. I'm getting married next year and so family planning is on the horizon. But I'm making the switch because I thought of this 2 or 3 years before i intend to TTC. I wouldn't make any switches if I had good control on Lantus or any other insulin and I was pregnant or already TTC.

So... that's a lot of words that amount to, do what works best for you!
