Diabetes (pre pregnancy) during pregnancy

[anonymousboymama]

I'm a diabetic, my last pregnancy the most insulin I was on is 32 units (long lasting). This pregnancy at 20 weeks I'm already on 32 units. Has anyone else had this? And what was your insulin when you was around 37 weeks before having baby? I'm worried il be on like 100 units 🤣

I've only had one diabetic pregnancy- I can't remember what I was on at 20 weeks but I remember having a big jump about them. I ended on about 46 units, at 37 weeks

I'm diabetic before pregnancy and at 12 weeks I needed insulin which is probably because the placenta starts working. I've been having jumps but struggling too keep ontop of it tbh

Sorry are you T1 or t2?

Im T1- so was diagnosed too before pregnancy.
From your post it sounds like you're not always on insulin?

No I'm always on insulin however my last pregnancy I didn't need too up my insulin until 18 weeks. I had a lot of lows and struggled. This time it started at 12 weeks xx
