I have the same issue I was on glyberide then they have me the highest dosage it didn't work now I'm on insulin that doesn't work even with diet so I'm just being careful I ended up losing weight on the diet and the meds .I don't want my baby to suffer so I been just eating normal they drive you crazy these doctors I cried for day and felt like my body was defying me.don't stress too much
I am on novolin too, I'm taking N 50 and R 30 in the am and 30 R at 5 and 30 N at 10pm
The thing is that my breakfast is at 11.30, I don't wake up early, but I'm talking to my dietician on Monday cause this week she wasn't there, I eat fruit, and Greek yogurt, I'm good with the snacks but is just hard for me to eat a heavy meal
Getting frustrated will make you feel worst someone suggested you talk to a dietician that helps too. I eat breakfast at 8am crackers at 10. Lunch at 12 a fruit at 2. Half a sandwich at 5 and dinner between 7-9. Another snack at 11 if needed. My Am reading is at 90-110 and my pm reading is at 100-105. And I am feeling great baby is growing and I feel controlled. Doctor said good job and I felt like a kid.
I am battling the same issue but for the last three weeks I have been doing well. I take Novolin N and Novolin R. I found that the issue was more food than the dosage. As the pregnancy progresses the doctor told me I may require more but i have been balancing good on 20 n and 10 r in the am and 12 and 12 at night. Yogurt and fruit juices were running me high but the doctor taught me to gauge based on my fasting results to either increase or decrease my dosage by 10% my snacks have been fruits like bananas oranges and apples and saltine crackers. It's hard at first but once you get into it you will be fine.
I drink them...i drink one full glass of water with 2 tsps of chia about 10 minutes before each meal...what that does is form a gel in the intestines and does let the sugar fall all at the same time it takes more time and distributes it slower
