Understanding GD better has helped me understand where my Ob phys is coming from.

The type of insulin may be the reason for the change. There are short acting and long acting insulins. Short acting are usually used at meal times.

Don't forget that the placenta is the one producing the progesterone, and as your pregnancy progresses baby gets bigger so does the placenta therefore increasing the amount of progesterone - causing your body to increase the glucose its producing - so you may think you woke up in the middle of the night and devoured a block of chocolate, but alas - its just your liver producing glucose!

Just remember that having high sugar levels are not passe, I would suggest he is putting you on the dosage for a reason - if you do not feel comfortable, question your OB to the hilt - I did that to mine when he put me on Daonil as it was a category C drug(mine is a VERY well respected physician - in otherwords, you dont question him, even my regular OB said that )never the less my body my baby - give me a reason why I have to take this - don't just write me out a prescription. He proceeded to give me research documentation and advice and studies, not just the pamphlet in the box or what I found on on google.
