Hi,

yes, I know it is not easy.  Continue to work with your doctors on adjusting the insulin.  If you can't control the BS then you probably need to also reduce how much carbs you eat.  Very hard work, but worth it for a healthy baby.

Your 180 levels before pregnancy were too high.  It has been shown that damage starts to occur at anything above 140.  After you have this baby, you will need to work very hard to maintain your ideal blood sugars.

Breastfeed if you can, it also helps in BS control, and is very good for the baby.

i am working very closly with my doctor and i guess i should tell you that my sugars as of fasting is always 95 or below.. and 2 hours after eating my sugar is when i have trouble.. they never reach above 160 but the doctors want them at 125.. i honesly try so hard.. i see my doctor every 2 weeks and starting this week i see them once a week and then have nst testing twice a week..
i feel like i am doing a good job but the doctors make me feel like im not doing it.. befor i went on insulin and become preg. i never got below 180 so i feel like i am doing the best i can..
also i am on novilin.. both long and short acting..im taking 3 shots a day..

Hi,

you need to be working very closely with your doctor and testing testing testing.  It is normal for bs control to worsen during pregnancy.  You will need to increase your insulin (in coordination with your dr.).  What insulin are you on.  

When I was pregnant I was on humulin, 70/30 which is a combo of long and short acting insulin. I had to fax my bs results to my doctor every week and see him every 2 weeks.  

I had to increase quite a bit from mid to the end of pregnancy.  If your Obe can't manage you ask to be referred to an endo.  Yes, very important to control your blood sugar.  Diet and insulin are both critical.

"i am following my diet...my morning and after breakfast are good but the other 2 are not."
Is this a diabetic diet? I suggest getting nutritional counseling from a registered diabetic dietician/nutritionist who'll help you develop specific meal and snack plans based on your height, weight, and activity level.
