Hello. I've been a type 2 diabetic for about a year and a half now. My numbers have been under control until lately. Almost two weeks ago I suspected that I was pregnant due to a missed period, higher numbers, and fatigue. Well, a couple days ago it was confirmed by an emergency doctor. My doctor just so happen to be out of town and won't be back for another week or so. My numbers are running like 200-350 all day. I supposed to take 30units of Lantus at bedtime and 3 doses of Novolog Pen during the day. Well, for the past few days I've been doubling the Lantus taking 60units at night. And instead of the average "7units" per meal of Novolog, I've been giving myself an average of 15units per meal 3times a day. I notice my numbers are going down but not to my satisfaction. They are averaging about 150-300 now. FINALLY, my question is, if your numbers get high, can you give yourself a really high dosage of insulin to bring that down or is it dangerous to do so and a doctor should be seen? When I give myself those high dosages of meds I get really nervous because before I got pregnant it wasn't necessary. Now that my numbers are really high and my doctor is out of town, I figure that my doctor would up my dosage to satisfy my body and bring the sugars down. Please!!!!! help!!!! Am I doing the right thing or should I stop before I find myself in a coma???
